SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (CNN) — With more than 10 percent of the polling stations reporting their results late Friday, President Leonel Fernandez was leading the Dominican Republic’s presidential election with more than 53 percent, an elections official said. In second place was Dominican Revolutionary Party leader Miguel Vargas Maldonado, with 41.2 percent, followed by Amable Aristy Castro of the Social Christian Reformist Party, with 4.6 percent. Fernandez, who is seeking his third term as president, needs a majority to avoid a runoff. |
