Wyclef Jean will announce exclusively on CNN’s “Larry King Live” Thursday night that he intends to run for president of Haiti, a source close to the Haitian recording artist said Tuesday.

Jean has been an outspoken proponent of Haiti through his Yele Foundation and was one of the first celebrities to offer aid after the devastating earthquake there in January. He told CNN late last month that he has filled out the necessary paperwork to make a run at the country’s highest office.

Jean, who was born in Haiti, shot to fame in the mid-1990s as a member of The Fugees, a U.S.-based hip-hop and reggae group. He performs now as a solo artist.- CNN

Wyclef Jean, hinted this decision earlier in a press interview he granted while in Nigeria for a United Bank of Africa(UBA) occasion for the outgoing MD of the UBA conglomerate, Tony Elumelu with important dignitaries, like the former president of Nigeria, Obasanjo, state governors, representatives of the current president, Goodluck Johnathan, representatives of the presidencies of Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone and other African leaders, Edi Lawani’s Showbiz Network services-who managed the event, and many more prominent dignitaries.
