VOICED : Dominicanos votan para decidir continuidad o cambio de Medina

Dominicans were tasked with making significant electoral decisions, including whether to re-elect President Danilo Medina or opt for change. Medina, whose party has been in power for 12 years, was favored according to polls. His main opponent, Luis Sabinader, aimed to prevent Medina from securing over 50% of the votes to force a runoff. Sabinader, a wealthy social-democratic businessman, led the political forces advocating for change. Medina's strengths include the country's tourism dynamism and a people-friendly governance style, but he faces criticism for rising insecurity and social inequality. In 2015, he pushed for a constitutional reform allowing him to seek a second term through political agreements with opponents.
