Wyclef Jean Officially Ends Presidential Run

Hip-hop star Wyclef Jean announced Tuesday he is officially ending his bid to become president of Haiti.

The Grammy-winning artist, who was born in the quake-ravaged country and raised in Brooklyn, will not challenge an electoral commission that deemed him unqualified to run in the Nov. 28 race.”After weeks of quiet but painstaking reflection with my wife and daughter, I have chosen to end my bid for the presidency of Haiti,” Jean said in a statement.”
