# Abinader wins a first-round second term; Fernández and Martínez concede

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 19 May 2024 [Luis Abinader](/people/luis-abinader) won the Dominican presidential election in the first round with a preliminary share near 58 percent. Leonel Fernández of the People’s Force and Abel Martínez of the PLD conceded the same night. AP and Reuters recorded the Haiti-border campaign as central.

## Context

Fernández remains unresolved. He did not sit as every JCE printer.

16 August 2020 first oath is parent. 2 October 2024 plan is a later child. Keep Abinader wins a first-round second term; Fernández and Martínez concede on 2024-05-19 separate from neighbouring 19 May 2024 re-election, 2 October 2024 10,000-a-week plan, first-week ~11,000 print, and 30 August 2026 wall tour.

The president of the Dominican Republic is head of state and head of government. He can announce a weekly repatriation plan, pour a border fence, and address the UN. He does not sit as a DGM truck driver, a Kenyan mission commander, or a Haitian transitional councillor.

## Evidence and sources

Junta Central Electoral of the Dominican Republic carries the official instrument or communique. Associated Press records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is transfer and Haiti-border: a completed first-round re-election on a deportation-and-wall ticket.

## What is established and what is not

Established: Abinader won the 19 May 2024 first round; Fernández and Martínez conceded the same night.

Not established: A unique later civic rebate from the contest hour, or that the 2 October quota is this same Sunday.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

He was the PRM incumbent. Fernández conceded. Martínez conceded.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Abinader wins a first-round second term; Fernández and Martínez concede, not a later speech about Abinader wins a first-round second term; Fernández and Martínez concede.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Abinader wins a first-round second term; Fernández and Martínez concede on 2024-05-19 is not a licence to treat every later Junta Central Electoral of the Dominican Republic communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Abinader wins a first-round second term; Fernández and Martínez concede into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to JCE counted. He was the PRM incumbent. Fernández conceded. Martínez conceded. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
