The Disputes Chamber of the Central Electoral Board (JCE) has now issued almost all the remaining decisions that resolved challenges about results stemming from the 16 May elections. However, there are still 11 cases pending a final decision. According to Diario Libre the chamber handed down 49 congressional decisions and 38 municipal decisions. The congressional decisions were concerned with deputies and the municipal decisions were about city council members and their reserves.
The most famous cases were those related to the request made by PRD deputy from La Romana, Ramon Agramonte, who demanded a recount. His case was dismissed. Another case that made the headlines was that of Licelot Marte de Barrios and it, too, was rejected. The other big case was the dispute between PLD deputies Pedro Antonio Caro and Manuel Antonio Paula. In this case, Caro won.
Somewhat different from the previous decisions that changed not a letter from Bulletin #18, this time the magistrates overturned the election of Antonio Beruel Vasquez in favor of Luis Ramon Pena, after a recount of 33 polling stations.
The remaining 11 cases have been decided but the lack of some of the magistrate's signatures has prevented them from being released to the public.
The JCE established that the PLD won 96 deputy seats, the PRD 60 and the PRSC 22, thus the ruling party will be majority in Congress. It has won 22 of 32 senate seats. The PRD will have 6 senate seats and the PRSC 4.
