Due to the claims and statements that have been made to the General Registrar for allegedly having committed electoral corruption, the head of the entity, Alexander Vega, announced on March 21 that the votes recorded to elect the new senators of the Republic will be counted again. The official assured that although this was not a fraud, irregularities were found and must be corrected for the sake of democracy.
“In order to safeguard the institutionality, in order to reach the electoral truth and with the presence of the president of the union; we have made the decision today, according to the countless inconsistencies of the E-14 forms to the Senate, as a national registrar I will again request the count of all Senate tables of the Republic”, announced registrar Vega.
Faced with this news, the different political sectors of the country immediately reacted to the news. The first to speak out were the leaders of the Historical Pact. It should be remembered that this movement “lost” almost 400,000 votes that were later found by volunteers and electoral witnesses.
Senator Roy Barreras, who initially denounced the alleged fraud, posted a video on Twitter claiming to agree with the count, but warns that it should not interfere with the electoral calendar.
It should be noted that hours prior to the announcement of the Registrar's Office, the hitherto elect Senator Humberto de la Calle asked that a vote be counted. He pointed out that it is essential that the process be done with an audit that generates trust.
While other sectors support the decision, they also call for the registrar to resign from office. They assure that on the day of the legislative elections there were too many inconsistencies that should have been foreseen by the official.
The petition is supported by the Peace and Reconciliation Foundation (Pares), an institute of political thought and human rights, notes that the current electoral situation is the responsibility of Registrar Vega. The group's directors asked for the official's resignation, but assured that he will not leave office because “he is tied to the political clans that elected him”.
At the moment, it is not known what will happen to the results of the legislative elections. Tomorrow (22 March) the National Electoral Council (CNE) is expected to take a decision on the petition. Likewise, starting at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, the national government will set up an electoral monitoring table to discuss issues related to legislative elections. The objective is to legitimize the results of the March 13 vote and look for ways to regain the credibility of the Registrar's Office.
