It may not be the ideal solution, but at least the one announced by Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) Thursday reflects the clear presidential choice of the Haitian people: Rene Garcia Preval was just below the 50 percent mark needed to avoid a runoff when the vote was halted Tuesday after Preval had threatened a legal battle over charges of massive fraud, citing tens of thousands of ineligible and blank ballots.

Preval met the CEP on Wednesday, and negotiated a technical solution: The total number of blank votes would be divided among the 33 candidates on the basis of the percentage of the counted vote accrued by each.

Preval has intimated that he has proof of the fraud, which can be traced to polling station workers.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Rene Preval had not even been sworn in as Haiti's president before posters began appearing, urging his charismatic predecessor, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, to return to office as soon as the constitution permits.

Preval said he continued to have a very, very, very good relationship with his political mentor, whom he served as prime minister in 1991.

Preval has offered few clues to how he intends to conduct his presidency, other than to say it will be in a manner distinct from his predecessor.

A Haitian who has worked closely with both men said Preval has more street savvy and is more pragmatic, which could work to his advantage.

I never dreamed of becoming president, and the proof of that is that I never joined a political party, Preval said in the interview.
