Visual Campaign of Jude Celestin



One presidential candidate in particular has a small army of people slapping up his posters on every available surface. We had some volunteers return from a trip to Leogane and they reported political rallies in every small village between there and Port-au-Prince. The village squares were packed with green and yellow, as these rallies were all for presidential candidate Jude Celestin. As well, his campaign is paying many dozens of women to wear his image, hold large posters on the side of the road, and don bright yellow and white construction hats. I will not be surprised if he wins on sheer visibility alone.
