Hipólito Mejía and Milagros Ortíz Bosch received their presidential and vice presidential credentials at a Junta Central Electoral event at the Hotel Jaragua yesterday. Following receiving his credential, the President-elect Mejía reiterated his commitment of staying away from the temptation of corruption. "Tal vez meta la pata, pero no la mano," he said, which translates as maybe I will put my foot in, but not my hand. He promised to honestly manage state resources and not touch them even with the petal of a flower, if it is not to benefit the population. At the event, Mejía asked that the churches pray for him, as he is a man of flesh and bones, full of limitations.
