Late Wednesday night the National Organizing Commission of the PRD's XXVII Ordinary Convention declared that the winner of the post of Secretary General was Orlando Jorge Mera and the winner for the post of party Organizational Secretary was Geanilda Vasquez. In the last bulletin issued by the organizers, Jorge Mera had obtained 286,525 votes for a 58.06% plurality, which, added to the 14,551 votes cast for Henry Blanco gave a grand total of 301,076 or 61% of all the votes cast. His closest opponent, Guido Gomez Mazara received 192,449, or 38.99% of the total.
In the race for party Organizational Secretary, Geanilda Vasquez received a total of 195,712 votes, 48.48%, and Tony Pena Guaba received 157,218 for 38.95%. Meanwhile Fausto Liz received 50,752 votes or 12.57%.
The Electoral Commission declared the winners in Resolution 193, read by commission president Tomas Hernandez Alberto. The resolution also establishes the annulment of the 367 polling places that were missing, annulled because more than 72 hours had passed without filing their reports to the PRD computer center.
The commission also ratified Miguel Vargas Maldonado as party president, after he received more than 539,000 positive votes in the so-called plebiscite. Finally, the commission declared the abolition of Article 185 of the PRD statutes. This statute prohibited the party president from running for President of the Republic. While not the same number as Vargas Maldonado received, there were still more than 495,000 votes in favor of the change.
