The recount is given after Roldán Concepción’s opponent, Yanitsia Irizarry Méndez of the New Progressive Party, contested the result of the election match.
The Court of Appeals last Wednesday ordered the State Election Commission (CEE) to manually re-count the municipal ballots after the agency that had been set up in an “illegal” manner determined, in its control regulations, the type of votes that would be mixed. awarded.
“I confirm my commitment to the people of Aguadilla and Aguadilla: in the new Aguadilla, we are confronted directly and without fear with injustice and bad tricks. The storm has ended and we are now sailing to a safe harbor. I warn those who have lost three times that violating the people’s sacred democratic right and lying under oath are reprehensible acts with dire consequences. I will take the necessary steps so that such injustice no longer occurs. Now let’s go where we came from: building the new Aguadilla! Roldán Concepción added.
