With the results from 87% of all voting centers counted and reported, the PRD's Convention Committee has confirmed the previous results, giving Orlando Jorge Mera (60%) and Geanilda Vasquez (48%) the PRD party secretariat posts. Mera and Vasquez beat challengers Guido Gomez Mazara and Tony Pena Guaba.
Gomez, however, is claiming he was the victim of fraud and conspiracy orchestrated by PRD president Miguel Vargas Maldonado.
Yesterday, Gomez was not allowed into the PRD's headquarters, where he had planned to hold a press conference and present his proof of fraud. Gomez says he has dozens of forged elections documents that were used in the convention.
He claims he won the election with 54% of the vote, adding that Vargas had also pressured election delegates such as Jose Fortuna to sign off on the election results, knowing they were falsified.
As reported in Diario Libre, Gomez claims that at least 30,000 electoral documents were forged. Gomez showed the media two electoral documents, one original, and one scanned. He claims that before the original documents were scanned in a "1" was added, giving Orlando Jorge Mera more votes.
