Lespwa

Fwon Lespwa was a Haitian political coalition headed by René Préval, who served as president from 1996 to 2001 and from 2006 to 2011.

On February 16, 2006, Préval was declared the winner with 51.21% of the vote, once a number of uncounted voters were tabulated.

Supporters of Lespwa found a massive dump of burned charred voting cards marked for Preval.

Lespwa's parliamentary caucus formed part of the governing coalition under Jacques-Édouard Alexis,[2] but soon formed a political alliance, the Coalition of Progressive Parliamentarians, that filed a motion of no confidence in Alexis' government during the 2008 food crisis.

It has since rejected two of Préval's nominees for prime minister; through the electoral alliance, Lespwa's leaders have gained a majority in the Chamber.
