President Danilo Medina was on the campaign trail in the northwestern provinces of Montecristi, Dajabon, Valverde and Santiago Rodriguez over the weekend of 27-28 February 2016. According to news reports, the campaign was successful in attracting large turnouts of followers.
On a tragic note, though, 34-year old Avelino Sanchez, who was campaigning President Medina’s re-election, died at a Montecristi hospital after falling off a pick up truck and being run over by another vehicle during the political caravan. http://www.7dias.com.do/portada/2016/02/28/i206156_joven-muere-arrollado-caer-camioneta-caravana-del-presidente-medina.html
