On Wednesday November 11, at a press conference, Mayor Ilana Neumann officially announced to be eligible for re-election for another term as mayor of Sosúa.
On Sunday, May 15th, 2016 there will be elections in the Dominican Republic, for new municipalities with a new mayor, provincial governments, members of Congress and for a new president.
Ilana doubted a long time, whether she was willing to be available for an additional period of six years.
Ilana Neumann eligible for re-election
But at the urging of party members and friends she accepted the challenge and declared to be eligible for re-election.
Among the community, the opinions about her performance as a mayor are divided.
She has done a lot for the youth in terms of support for education, sports and culture.
Many sport facilities have been refurbished or newly constructed.
But she also improved the cultural level with music, dance and craftsmanship education at the cultural center Casa de Arte.
But according to critics, in the area of ??infrastructure improvement she has led down.
For example there are still many roads, even in El Batey, that are still almost impassable because of their bad condition.
Insiders told us that Ilana Neumann will almost certainly be re-elected. \
She has not only a lot of supporters in Sosúa, but also a lot of support from the government in Santo Domingo.
In May next year, we will know for sure if she will be elected for another term.
