God Bless the DR to-day !

With the election for a new President to-day, I sincerely hope that whoever wins will be for the people. Not to sell off this beautiful island to others but keep it for the Dominicans. To increase the educational standards, for the youth of to-day are the futures of the to-morrows. Help the poor, solve the electricity and water problems. Let the people know you care about them, after all they are the ones that have voted you into the office that you now hold. Congratulations and may God guide you for the next four years.

Does anyone know what happened today, with the election?

Good or Bad, I am very curious?

Does anyone know the result of the elections yet ?

Alguien sabe el resultado de las elecciones ?

Thanks. Gracias.

No news as of 8:30 pm and the news from the TV stations say around midnight they results should be known.

I have been visiting the D.R. for 10 years and living in the D.R. 6 months a year for the last two years. God bless you , mi amor, you are my second home. Whoever wins this election has a very tough act to follow, in one specific aspect; corruption in all areas of government. The previous administration made an enormous effort to reduce government corruption at all levels of government. Considering the history and roots of the country, this is a very formidable task, as every Dominican who has ever dealt with virtually any gov. agency will tell you.

But great strides have been made and I hope the momentum contines. Watching my beloved DR evolve into a stable democracy is very heart warming. Long live the DR !!!( and the Bachata too)
