District 27 is made up of voters from three Committees for the Defense of the Revolution who directly elected a woman as their candidate for the nationwide partial elections scheduled for April 25th and May 1st.

Mari Machado, accompanied by local electoral authorities and leaders of grass-root organizations, exchanged ideas with the neighbors and congratulated the newly-elected candidate.

Speaking to ACN, she highlighted the values of Cuban democracy in which voters elect their representatives based on their merits and abilities. She also praised the participation of people in the process, particularly in Guantanamo, which shows a 94% participation of voters in meetings to elect candidates for delegates to the Municipal Assemblies.

More than 1,700 meetings to select candidates to the Municipal Assemblies have taken place in Guatanamo province.
