		Rene Preval, an agronomist and former president, made no public appearances Thursday, in keeping with his virtual silence as a days-long, roller-coaster vote count roiled the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
		Preval has tried to dampen expectations in his few public statements, saying his government would not be able to immediately fix Haiti's problems, which range from massive unemployment to near-total rural deforestation.
		Preval had been a hair short of an outright majority after 96 percent of the vote was tabulated, sending masses of poor Haitians into the streets to protest what they called electoral fraud.

	Online NewsHour: Haiti In Turmoil \| President Rene Preval
		The rise of Rene Preval as Haiti's first elected president since a bloody uprising in 2004 ousted Jean-Bertrand Aristide marks a stunning reemergence for a man that first came to power in 1996 when he replaced Aristide, his longtime ally and mentor, as the island nation's leader.
		During the 2006 election, poor Haitians remembered Preval's loyalty during his first term and it was the country's working classes that helped nudge him to victory, giving him a 51 percent lead over his rivals, the country's electoral commission reported.
		Preval also must regain control of Haiti's streets, where armed gangs have carried out kidnappings and taken control of a rampant drug and gun trafficking trade since Aristide's 2004 ouster.

	Rene Preval will need help and a lot of luck - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Now that Mr Rene Preval has been declared the winner of the presidential vote, with just over 51 per cent, it is our hope that some semblance of stability will return to Haiti, and that the international community will assist in the country's social, political and economic recovery.
		However, a lot has gone downhill since then, and president-elect Preval now needs to quickly present his supporters with the cold, hard fact that their expectations will not be realised overnight and that they, the Haitian people, have a vital role to play in shaping the country's future.
		But equally, president-elect Preval must engage the international community to secure the assistance he will need to turn around decades of rot in Haiti's security, judicial and health systems.

	Rene Preval 'declared' President of Haiti
		Rene Preval has been declared president of Haiti, following last week’s vote marred by claims of irregularities.
		Mr Preval was credited with 51.15% of the votes, based on 96% of voting stations counted, the electoral body chief announced.
		Seems that Preval had a substantial majority, even if there is controversy surrounding the achievement of “50%+1), but clearly, the country is a powder keg waiting to explode, and an undecided election would likely have caused widespread violence (if the protests in recent days were any indication).
