( CNN ) -- On her way to Haiti , Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday that the United States would n't cut aid to the economically and politically unsettled Caribbean nation -- despite major concerns about its recent and upcoming presidential elections . Clinton said she planned to keep up pressure on the Port-au-Prince government , headed by President Rene Preval , to honor recommendations from the Organization of American States related to who is on the ballot for its pivotal upcoming presidential runoff . Still , she said that any political differences would not affect U.S. support for Haiti , an already impoverished country before a devastating earthquake last year followed months later by a deadly cholera outbreak . More than 200,000 people have been sickened and 4,030 have died as of January 24 , according to the latest report posted by the ministry . `` We are not talking about any of that , '' Clinton told reporters . `` We have a deep commitment to the Haitian people . And that ( applies ) to humanitarian aid , it goes to governance and democracy programs . '' While Clinton will visit a cholera clinic , addressing Haiti 's political turmoil will largely dominate her visit . Shortly after the November 28 presidential elections , Haiti 's electoral council announced that former first lady Mirlande Manigat had won but lacked a majority of votes for an outright victory . Initial results put her in a runoff with Jude Celestin , a protege of the president . The third-place candidate , popular musician Michel Martelly , claimed he had won more votes than Celestin and a review of results by an Organization of American States team supported that contention . That review suggested that Martelly earned a spot in the runoff . `` The international community has been very clear , and I am going to carry that message , '' said Clinton , alluding to the U.S. support for allowing Martelly on the runoff ballot . `` But I will also be listening . '' She said she 'll meet with all three potential candidates -- Manigat , Celestin and Martelly -- during her trip this week to Haiti , as well as with President Rene Preval . On Sunday , Clinton acknowledged `` many complications '' and `` legitimate concerns , '' including a tight timeline . But she added that the United States was in sync with the prevailing view of diplomats from North and South America , as well as the United Nations and European Union . It 's unclear whether Preval 's ruling Inite ( Unity ) party plans to withdraw its support of Celestin in light of the election review . Discontent with Preval and his government manifested itself on the streets of Haiti after the preliminary results were announced . Haitians charged vote fraud and burned cars , tires and Celestin 's campaign headquarters in Port-au-Prince . The electoral council said it will announce the final results of the first round on Wednesday . The runoff is scheduled for March 20 , and final results will not be known until April 16 . `` If there are ideas that we should follow up on , we will take those into account , '' Clinton said of her planned discussions with Haitian leaders and candidates . `` But we want to see the OAS recommendations followed . '' CNN 's Moni Basu contributed to this report .
