The president of Alianza País (AlPaís), Guillermo Moreno complained that the Central Electoral Board (JCE) has been indifferent to the “frenetic campaigning for reelection” of followers of President Danilo. The former National District prosecutor demanded the JCE take actions to put a stop to the premature campaigning.
“Every week there are public events promoting re-election, where government officials display banners, pronounce re-election speeches, coerce public employees to attend these events and use vehicles and public resources of government ministries for these,” the political leader said in a press release.
He said that last August he sent a letter to the JCE demanding that the electoral body take measures to avoid campaigns that promote presidential reelection that is a violation of the Constitution. He added that these have been ignored.
The 2015 Constitution bans the reelection of President Danilo Medina. But the President himself has postponed giving his definite answer to whether or not he would seek reelection.
