According to media reports, on Sunday Panama’s former security minister Jose Raul Mulino stormed to victory in a presidential poll dominated by his old boss, the popular ex-leader Ricardo Martinelli, who buttressed his campaign despite being holed up in Nicaragua’s embassy. Now, he will be the President of Panama for the next five years.
As per the media reports, the 64-year-old Jose Raul Mulino, whose last position in politics was as minister of security in then President Ricardo Martinelli’s 2009-2014 administration, was initially tapped by the popular former leader to be his running mate after Martinelli’s wife declined. But then Martinelli was disqualified from running after he was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for a money laundering conviction. Mulino took his place, and ended up winning Sunday’s presidential election with 35% of the vote and a nine-point lead over his nearest opponent after dodging constitutional challenges to his own candidacy.
As per the reports Mulino told a crowd of his supporters that-“Mission accomplished. This is perhaps the most important date of my life, and the greatest responsibility of a Panamanian falls on my shoulders and my family to lead the destiny of the nation.”
