Port-au-Prince - After a campaign boycotted by opposition parties and virtually free of actual campaigning, Haitians will go to the polls on Sunday for an election certain to restore populist hero Mr Jean-Bertrand Aristide to the presidency.

The former Catholic priest who swept from Haiti's teeming slums on a wave of support to capture the presidency in 1990 - only to be ousted in a bloody coup and then restored by a US-led invasion - has no serious opposition in an election shadowed by allegations of a tainted parliamentary vote last May.
