Jean-Charles Moïse (born 20 April 1967) is a Haitian politician. He is the Chairman of the Platfòm Pitit Desalin political party, and was a candidate for President of Haiti in 2015, and again in 2016, when the presidential elections were redone. He served a term as Senator for the Nord Department, and before that served three consecutive terms as the Mayor of Milot.

Biography[]

Moïse completed his studies at the National School of Milot and the Lycée Philippe Guerrier in Cap-Haïtien. He studied accounting science at Adventist University Diquini. He was the mayor of Milot (year unknown) and senator later during his life. In 2015, he resigned as Senator in order to run for the presidency. He received 14.22% of the popular vote, ranking 3rd, after Jovenel Moïse (PHTK) and Jude Célestin (LAPEH).

Jean-Charles Moïse does not claim a familial relationship with the late Jovenel Moïse.

Politically, Moïse describes himself as a "restorative socialist." His party's political platform for the 2016 election cited Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Fidel Castro as his primary and secondary philosophical and ideological influences, respectively. His political program is based on the three core tenets of sovereignty, solidarity, and prosperity.[1]
