The Secretary of Political Affairs (SAP) Patricia Garcia and the Head of the National Electoral Directorate (DINE) Diana Quiodo headed the 11th meeting of the Electoral Monitoring Council (CSE) to evaluate and assess the PASO and work in a coordinated and articulated manner with a view to the general election.
