(CNN) — A decision on who is eligible to run for president in Haiti has been postponed until Friday, leaving hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean and the other presidential hopefuls in limbo, said Berto Dorce, Jean’s lawyer. Haiti’s election commission was scheduled to make a decision Tuesday night. Jean’s eligibility was under question after claims that he has not lived in Haiti for five consecutive years before the election, a mandate in the nation’s Constitution. Jean’s lawyer said his client meets that criteria. “His candidacy has been contested and we went to court and proved that he is legally entitled to run for president,” Dorce said. “Jean’s position is pretty strong. He should be on the list.” Dorce said Jean has been paying taxes in Haiti, which makes him eligible.
