After five hours of discussions, Mayor Juan de Dios (Johnny) Ventura accepted Rafael Diaz Filpo as president of the Sala Capitular del Ayuntamiento del Distrito Nacional. President of the city hall Fabio Ruiz convened the city hall’s 88 aldermen to meet on Thursday, 19 August to elect the new board. The PRD is majority so whom they choose will be elected. Ventura said he did not object Diaz Filpo, rather the way he was chosen by the PRD hierarchy.
