Louis Déjoie
Pierre Joseph Louis Déjoie (23 February 1896 - 11 July 1969, Port-au-Prince, Haiti[1][2]) was a wealthy Haitian sugar planter, industrialist, agricultural engineer, landowner and politician.[3][4]
Early years[]
Déjoie was a descendant of a French slave-holder, and former Haitian President Fabre Geffrard, who overthrew the Faustin empire.[3]
He ran for the Presidency against Francois Duvalier in 1957 Haitian general election. His party only won 2 of the 37 seats in the country's Chamber of Deputies, and he received only 26.6% of the vote to Duvalier's 72.4%.
