Dominican President Luis Abinader declared victory in Sunday's general election and delivered a nationalistic message promising change and anti-corruption measures.
The current president of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, declared himself the winner of the weekend’s presidential election in a race where crime and safety were among voters’ biggest concerns.
The outcome reinforced the government’s crackdown along its shared border with Haiti and on the hundreds of thousands of people who have fled that violence-stricken nation, something only likely to continue in his next term.
Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader is headed to a second term following Sunday's general elections, declaring victory after his top competitors conceded early in the night as he held a strong leader in early vote tallies.
