Noël Emmanuel Limage

Noël Emmanuel Limage (died January 20, 2007) was a Haitian Senator with the Lespwa party. In the 2006 election, he won a seat representing the Artibonite Department in the Senate, but was killed in a car accident near Gonaïves less than a year after taking office. He was driving his car on a rural road when he swerved to avoid a cow and crashed into a ravine. He was taken to a hospital, where he died of head injuries. Two passengers in the car survived the accident; Limage's wife suffered a broken leg and a bodyguard escaped uninjured.^[1]

The Constitution of Haiti stipulated that a special election should have been held within thirty days of Limage's death to fill his Senate seat. Because Haiti lacks a permanent electoral commission, the special election did not take place and his seat remains empty.^[1] The position will be contested in the upcoming 2008 elections.^[2]
