The vote count for the internal election for new members of the PLD Central Committee is delayed. The organizers had said results would have been known by yesterday afternoon, Tuesday 14 January, but Bulletin 3 issued last night indicates that only the votes from 801 polling stations had been tallied, and the ballot boxes from a further 2,698 still needed to be counted. Reportedly, a total of 2,414,763 votes were cast, of which 2,330,484 have been deemed valid.
The Central Committee members decide the members of the influential Political Committee of the party that today is divided among those who are partial to incumbent President Danilo Medina and those loyal to former President Leonel Fernandez. Fernandez can run for President in 2016, not so President Medina.
