Guatemalan U.N. peacekeepers unsuccessfully try to stop angry supporters of Haitian presidential candidate Rene Preval from entering the upscale Hotel Montana in the Petionville suburb of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Monday, Feb. 13, 2006, where election officials will announce results of the presidential elections. Protests erupted across the capital as vote counts showed that Preval may have fallen short of the 50 percent needed to win the presidency without a runoff election. The protesters allege the electoral commission is manipulating the vote count to prevent a first-round Preval victory.
