Julio Mariñez, the apparent winner of the PRD primaries for mayor of Santo Domingo, has said he will not pursue his victory, and instead will leave the final decision in the hands of the PRD leader, Dr. José Francisco Peña Gómez. "We will do whatever he says," is now the new line of the Mariñez group, that earlier had said they would complain before the Central Electoral Junta, the electoral court. Peña Gómez has said that today he would announce a solution to the conflict. The race to choose the PRD candidate for mayor was split almost equally between the three contenders, with Mariñez slightly ahead. Milagros Ortiz Bosch, who received 70% of the vote for the senatorial position for Santo Domingo, has said repeatedly that she does not have a vocation to be mayor of Santo Domingo, thus rejecting that to be part of the solution.
