Jose Tomas Perez votes to be annulled

[NewsWhore]

The organizing committee of the PLD primary that is set for 6 May has said that any vote that is marked in favor of former senator Jose Tomas Perez will be annulled. Perez was one of the candidates in the primary, but last week he announced he would support President Leonel Fernandez's re-election aspirations. He alleged that surveys carried out on PLD party members and voters in general showed a marked preference for Fernandez versus his leading contender, former Presidency Secretary Danilo Medina. The vote would not be annulled if the voter also chooses either Danilo Medina or Leonel Fernandez. In that case, the vote would go to Medina or Fernandez. A vote for Perez alone would be annulled because he is no longer in the race.
