With the 21-day early voting for Saipan and Northern Islands starting yesterday, Gov. Ralph DLG Torres predicts that the Republican Party will prevail again at this November\u2019s election. <\/p>\n
Speaking at a radio\u2019s news briefing yesterday, Torres said he is confident that the people know what direction the CNMI is heading and understand the Commonwealth\u2019s current situation, that voters know that the administration under the Republic Party\u2019s leadership has been pushing hard to take care of the community. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I think now with COVID-19 here, there\u2019s no denial or reason to say that the leadership and the Republican Party, [together with] the community, have taken that extra precaution to make sure that not just the elders are taken cared of but everyone\u2026here in the CNMI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The governor pointed out that, with everything that has been thrown at his administration, whether it\u2019s a typhoon or pandemic, they continue to move forward, and that, despite the false accusations and false information being thrown around, they continue to do what\u2019s good for the CNMI. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we do have solutions,\u201d Torres said, noting that retirees continue to get their retirement pensions. \u201cSo I believe that our community knows that we\u2019ve been taking care of our community.\u201d <\/p>\n
The governor urged the people to go out and exercise their right to vote. <\/p>\n
The Republican Party has 21 candidates in this election, while the Democratic Party has 18. There are nine Independents, and 20 non-partisans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
