In a rare show of democracy in Haiti, Sweet Micky Martelly won the presidential runoff with 67.57 percent of the votes.

From a Western point of view, he would not stand a chance, considering he has no political experience and is a carnival singer.  Yes, a carnival singer, a popular one at that.  He is know for blending African and Latin rhythms.

His win over experienced law professor and former senate Manigat clearly shows the power of the young generation in Haiti.  Martelly appealed to over 50% of the Haitian population who is under 25.
