Singer Wyclef Jean takes legal steps to run for Haitian president

Grammy-award winning singer Wyclef Jean says he has taken legal steps towards running for president in the recently quake-devastated Haiti.



He says that he has not made a final decision, however, he insists that he’s qualified to run for Haiti's highest office.



Wyclef Jean was in Haiti yesterday to work with lawyers and have his fingerprints taken by the judicial police as part of the legal process of preparing to run for president.



The deadline for candidates to register is August 7.



Hip Hop artist Jean says he will make his decision on whether to run with his wife Claudinette and their daughter Angelina.
