Election fever rises in Sosúa
In Sosúa it is now about the two-way battle between the mayor candidates Wilfredo Olivences (el Chamo) and the sitting mayor Ilana Neumann.
Recently they showed up in the strangest places to mingle with the people.
They regularly have their pictures taken with residents and then especially with nice and cute looking children.
This time, no marches may be held in the streets, unlike in previous years.
According to the critics, defiles cause too much nuisance.
So now mainly large meetings are held on the sports fields.
Both Ilana Neumann and Wilfredo Olivences have a large amount of followers, so it is uncertain who will win the election as mayor.
What is certain is that Willie el Chamo can look forward to a larger number of followers this year than in previous elections.
This makes the coming election more exciting than in previous years.
