The former Fugees member is said to be making a bid for president of his homeland.

Wyclef Jean will be announcing his candidacy for President of Haiti, according to AllHipHop.com.

A source confirmed that the rapper/singer/producer will make the announcement next Thursday, August 5 – two days prior to the country’s August 7 deadline.

As previously reported, Clef revealed to CNN that he had filled out the proper paperwork in order to enter the race, though he was, at the time, undecided.

Wyclef has been at the forefront of the recovery efforts in his homeland, following a tragic earthquake that ravaged the country last January.

Given his popularity and financial resources, analysts predict he would easily win the election, which is slated for November 28.
