Alexandre Paul

Alexandre Paul was an independent candidate for president in the 2005 Haitian election. A staunch supporter of Baby Doc Duvalier, he was ousted from his post when Duvalier fell from power in 1986.

In 1993 he was the head attorney for the electoral counsel (Conseil Electoral Provisoire). He distinguished himself as a person who defended the Haitians by all legal means.

After spending three years as a prisoner in Haiti, he became convinced that the voice of one man could make a difference and ran as a presidential candidate. As a candidate he called for the respect of the laws for the good of all citizens whatever their social status. He wrote many articles in Haitian newspapers: Le Nouvelliste and Le Matin, in the Bahamas in the Nassau Guardian and in Florida in the Miami Herald.

Paul is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He joined the church in 1980 when he was Counsel General for Haiti in the Bahamas.
