(CNN) -- Haiti's election commission said it will decide Friday whether hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean is eligible to run for president.
Jean spent part of Thursday refuting news reports that he was not on the list of candidates approved to run in this year's presidential election.
"I wanted to clarify a rumor on Reuters that there's a list of candidates that came out and that (my) name isn't on it," Jean told CNN's Larry King on Thursday. "That's not true. The list is supposed to come out tomorrow ... It's looking good for us".
Earlier Thursday, Reuters reported that Jean is not on the list of candidates who are legally cleared to run in the November 28 election, anonymously citing a member of the nation's provisional electoral council.
While challenging the report, Jean also entertained the possibility that he will be declared ineligible to run, telling King he would continue organizing Haiti's youth to push for education reform. "Haiti's constitution says that all kids should have the privilege of a free education, and that's something we'll push for whether we make it or not," he said. CNN
