The list of proposed candidates for the nation’s highest courts is growing by the day and the latest total registered by the National Judicial Council (CNM) is now 110, with 76 men and 34 women.
It includes double and even triple candidates, like the 68 candidates for the Supreme Court of Justice, the 49 for the Constitutional Court and the 26 for the Supreme Electoral Court, which adds up to 143 candidates. This means that, as Diario Libre says, many want a seat on any of the three courts and have placed their names for consideration is two or all three of the candidate pools.
This information is contained in the report “Candidates registered as of 22 August 2011,” which was released by the secretary of the CNM, Victor Jose Castellanos. Some of the latest proposals are Angel Castillo Tejada, Julio Cesar Cano Alfau, Ramon Horacio Gonzalez Perez, Arelis Ricourt de Gomez, Esther Agelan Casasnovas, Sarah Henriquez Marin, Jose Alberto Cruceta, Mariano Rodriguez, Norma Bautista de Castillo, Berenice Ubinas de Barinas, Carmen Imbert Brugal, Cesar Jasmin Rosario, Idelfonso Reyes, Juan Manuel Guerrero and Katiuska Jimenez Castillo.
