Orlando Jorge Mera and Geanilda Vasquez are still the frontrunners for the PRD Secretariat posts, with 80.14% of all voting precincts reporting their votes. However, despite official figures issued by the PRD, Guido Gomez Mazara and Tony Pena Guaba have both declared victory in the polls. According to the fourth bulletin issued by the party, Mera obtained 57.7% of the vote and Vasquez 46.9%. Meanwhile, Gomez registered 40.4% of the vote and Pena registered 40% of all votes tallied.
But Gomez says that he would present proof that he has actually won the position of Secretary General of the PRD at a 4pm press conference today.
Luis Abinader, who is supporting Pena Guaba's candidacy, has asked for a special commission to be created in order to study the election result, doubting the quality of the election.
But it looks as if Gomez's and Pena's efforts might be in vain as the Central Electoral Board (JCE) has announced that with the emission of a final report by the PRD and with 80% of the votes counted the JCE had declared its job done.
JCE Administrative Chamber President Roberto Rosario said there had been no fraud in the elections, only minor glitches. The PRD has also announced that a resounding 96.26% of voters agreed with Miguel Vargas Maldonado's election as president of the party, a topic that was subject to considerable internal debate in recent months.
