Death Toll Exceeds 1,700

The official death toll has now reached 1,721 and nearly 76,000 people have now contracted Cholera since the outbreak began last month. The U.N. has asked for $160 Million in aid over the next year to attempt to keep the Cholera from spreading at a rampant pace.

As for the Presidential election, 12 of the 18 candidates have asked for the election results to be thrown out amidst questionable activities, lack of ballots, polling places not open, etc. So far, there seems to be no indication the election results will be thrown out. The official results are not expected to be announced until December 7th at the earliest. If none of the candidates attains 50% plus one vote, a run-off will then take place.
