The announcement Wednesday confirms that Michel “Sweet Micky” Martelly won the runoff for the election with 67.57 percent of the vote.

When preliminary results released on April 4 showed he defeated his rival in the March 20 runoff, opponent Mirlande Manigat said she wouldn’t contest.

The 50-year-old Martelly begins his term May 14. He will be in charge of leading reconstruction efforts in Haiti, which was devastated by an earthquake last year.
