PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - More than two dozen people have signed up to run for Haiti's presidency, authorities said on Wednesday, including the four leading candidates from an earlier election aborted after a commission found widespread fraud

Unless registrations rise significantly before a 0000 EDT (0500 BST) deadline, the number of presidential candidates will be about half those who contested the last ballot in Haiti, the hemisphere's poorest country.
