The president of the Junta Central Electoral (JCE), Juan Sully Bonelly said that with the congressional and municipal elections successfully over, he is ready to return to his private law office when his term at the electoral court ends. Two other of the original five judges that are acknowledged with the successful restructuring of the electoral court on occasion of their appointment in 1994, also want to retire. These are Luis Mora Guzmán and Rafael Vallejo Santelises. Bonelly is recommending that the president of the court be either Alejandro Asmar Sánchez and Cirilo Collado Núñez, two judges that replaced two of the first resigning judges of the court. Commenting on this year’s congressional and municipal elections, he said they were crisis-free, rather eventless. As of today, no party has impugned the results. Judge Juan Sully Bonelly said that women will make up 18% of the composition of the new Congress. He says this is above the world average for Congress that is 11%.
