Haiti hotelier: Aristide develops political party
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide is trying to rebuild his political party as the Caribbean nation prepares for legislative and local elections, a prominent hotelier said Sunday.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Richard Morse, manager of the Hotel Oloffson, said he has met with Aristide three times in the past two weeks to discuss the possibility of his wife, Lunise Exume Morse, running under Aristide's party as a senatorial candidate in a vote that's supposed to be held by year's end. His wife attended two of the meetings, and the couple also met with a leader of Aristide's Lavalas Family party, Morse said.
"He's back, and he's trying to get good people on his team," Morse said of Aristide, who was ousted from the presidency twice. "I think he feels that his party has to become a player and bring people together."
