A woman is held above the crowd as Haitian presidential candidate Mirlande Manigat holds a campaign rally, on Feb. 18, 2011, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Haitian elections were delayed, first by the 2010 earthquake and then by the need for a run-off between candidates’ former first lady Mirlande Manigat and singer Michel Martelly. Martelly eventually defeated Manigat.
