Massachusetts newspaper the Eagle Tribune reports on former President Leonel Fernandez’s visit to the city of Lawrence where he accepted a proclamation to run for President in 2016 from local officials. Lawrence has a large Dominican population, and its mayor, Daniel Rivera, is Dominican.
While Fernandez has not made an official announcement as to whether he will run again for office in 2016, he took part in an event where hundreds rallied in support of his candidacy in Boston, Massachusetts on Tuesday, 23 September 2014.
“As a former president, I am just an unemployed man,” Fernandez joked from the podium at City Hall.
Polling stations will be set up in key US cities for Dominicans to vote in the election.
