Business career
With a little investment capital, MoÃÆ'¯se created its first business in Port-de-Paix: JOMAR Auto Parts, still operating today.
Shortly after, he started a project to provide clean water to rural areas. In 2001, he partnered with Culligan, a company based in Port-au-Prince. With loans from financial institutions and individuals, he opened a water mill serving the Nord-Ouest and Nord-Est departments.
In 2004, MoÃÆ'¯se became a member of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCINO). Soon after, he was elected president of CCINO. He later became secretary general of the Haitian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIH), where he helped improve the representation of the regional Chamber of Commerce within national organizations.
In 2008, he helped found Haiti Energy Company SA, which aims to bring solar and wind power to 10 communes in Nord-Ouest.
In 2012, in Trou-du-Nord, he founded Agritrans SA and helped create the first agricultural free trade zone in Haiti, a banana plantation spread over nearly 1,000 hectares of land in Nord-Est. This caused more than a dozen agricultural projects that created nearly 3,000 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect jobs.
Political career
In 2015, President Michel Martelly appointed MoÃÆ'¯se as the presidential candidate of the political party founded Martelly, Haitian Party TÃÆ'¨t Kale (PHTK).
In his campaign, MoÃÆ'¯se promotes bio-ecological agriculture as an economic engine for Haiti, whose population is over 50% rural. He also expressed support for the policies pursued by Martelly: universal education and health care, energy reform, the rule of law, the creation of sustainable employment, environmental protection, and the development of Haiti as a destination for ecotourism and agritourism.
MoÃÆ'¯se received 32.8% of the vote in the first round of the 2015 election held on October 15, 2015, qualifying for the second round with second-place spotter, Jude CÃ © Ã © lestin. However, a poll conducted by Haiti Sentinel showed MoÃÆ'¯se received only 6% of the votes, and many observers called the results fake. Thousands of people took to the streets by force, forcing the postponement of a second round of elections.
On November 27, 2016, election officials said MoÃÆ'¯se had won the 2016 election in the first round based on preliminary results, with an estimated turnout of 21%.
