PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Haitian election officials say the results of the first round of presidential elections will be announced on Wednesday.

The electoral council said the second round of voting would take place March 20 with the final results announced March 31, the BBC said Saturday.

The preliminary results of the first round of voting held in November stirred up civil unrest and were considered by international monitors to be rigged.

Former First Lady Mirlande Manigat won the first round; however, the vote was too close to call between the second and third-place candidates -- pop star Michelle Martelly and government-backed Jude Celestine.
