Fire gutted the offices of Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council shortly after it rejected the candidacies of 12 presidential hopefuls, several of whom had ties to the former Duvalier dictatorship. A fire also destroyed the department store of a council member, and shots were reportedly fired at the office of an anti-Duvalier candidate, at the house and car of a member of the Constituent Assembly and at an election council office in nearby Delmas. A guard at the council office was wounded.
