Presidential spokesman Roberto Rodriguez Marchena has confirmed that President Danilo Medina will not opt to run for re-election now that he has an approval rating of 89% in recent polls.
Rodriguez was responding to press questions about the actions of Alberto Pelaez Andina, who has been collecting signatures looking for a way to enable President Medina to stand for office again in the 2016 elections. Rodriguez said that the President was dedicating his time to governing the country. The Dominican Constitution says in article 124: “The President of the Republic will be elected every four years by direct vote and cannot be elected for a consecutive second term.”
