The Central Electoral Board is biggest winner in 2024 elections

Members of the Central Electoral Board: Roman Andres Jaqués Liranzo, Rafael Armando Vallejo Santelises, Dolores Altagracia Fernandez Sanchez, Patricia Lorenzo Paniagua, Samir Rafael Chami Isa / JCE

Diario Libre congratulates the Central Electoral Board (JCE) for the organization of the 2024 municipal, presidential and congressional elections. The JCE under Roman Jaquez Liranzo navigated the challenges of the political party demands and delivered an electoral period that has had a minimal impact on productive activities in the country. For the most part, this was the most “boring” and least felt of all campaigns.

Diario Libre makes the point that differently from other electoral processes, most citizens did not even know the names of the president of the JCE, nor the names of other members. It was the most streamlined process held yet in the country to organize and hold general elections.

Diario Libre concludes its editorial saying: “And that is important, much more so when a campaign was unleashed nearly a year ago to try to discredit the institution.

“In terms of logistics, they faced every situation that arose; they resolved the impasses with undefined candidacies until just days before the elections and there were no traumas.

“With the first bulletin they defined practically everything and today the country moves forward calmly. Congratulations.”
