SOUNDBITE: (English) Charles Henri Baker, Haitian Presidential Candidate: "Well, that is what they are (referring to the partial results that were announced last night), very minute results and very irrelevant as of now, not enough to really go by. So we are waiting. It's a long waiting period but we are being patient." 4. Cutaway of candidate Baker talking to reporter 5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Charles Henri Baker, Haitian Presidential Candidate: "The monkey is off my back. I noticed something was wrong, my duty as a Haitian, as a candidate, is to let the CEP (Provisional Electoral Council) know. I've done that. Now it's their job to go office by office or centre by centre and say let me see your registers." 6. Various of Haitian newspapers announcing the partial results 7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Charles Henri Baker, Haitian Presidential Candidate: "I'm getting a lot of reports that there were a lot of things that happened that weren't Kosher and I can't really give a blank check to the elections. I think that, we will do our duty as a political party and as Haitians to report whatever we found as anomalies and the CEP will have to decide whether it's important or not and they will have to take a decision on that. But I do find it very premature for international agencies to say that everything was perfect." 8. Various of CEP delegates working at the vote tabulation centre 9. SOUNDBITE: (Creole) Jaques Bernard, General Director of the Provisional Electoral Council: "We are going to have the partial results of the elections that will give us an idea of what is going on." 10.

Charles Henri Baker also said the international community was prematurely declaring the voting free of fraud. Preval, a former president seen as a champion of the poor, had 61.5 percent of 282,327 valid votes counted. Former President Leslie Manigat had 13.4 percent and Baker, a wealthy businessman, 6.1 percent, according to figures released on Thursday by election officials. In an exclusive interview with Associated Press and AP Television News Baker said, "we're starting to hear that people voted 5 times, 10 times, 20 times." Baker said he had filed a complaint with Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) asking it to annul votes from any polling station where people were found to have voted more than once. Baker said he didn't know whether the alleged fraud affected the overall outcome, but he said he was "flabbergasted" that international observers had widely praised Tuesday's elections as free and fair. Officials at Haiti's electoral office weren't immediately available for comment. Election authorities said it might be Saturday before enough ballots are counted to draw conclusions about the race.
