President Leonel Fernandez has enlisted the support of former PRD legislator and Mayor of Santo Domingo, merengue legend Johnny Ventura. As reported in Diario Libre, at the event, President Fernandez announced that he would win with 72% of the vote.
Ventura himself announced his support for the President's reelection at the United Palace congregation event in New York City. He said that Fernandez represented wellbeing and progress for Dominicans, while the PRD candidate has no proposals and is only interested in power for his own personal benefit.
At the end of his term as mayor of Santo Domingo, Ventura authorized the Santo Domingo municipality to provide funds to guarantee the purchase of a new fleet of vehicles for transport association Fenatrano. Several of the beneficiaries have defaulted on the loans, and the municipality now wants taxpayers to foot the bill.
Fenatrano leader Juan Hubieres recently announced his support for PRD candidate Miguel Vargas Maldonado.
Fernandez is expected to return to the country today after his weeklong re-election tour of Miami, Boston, New Jersey and New York in the company of First Lady Margarita Cedeno.
