Luis Abinader, the incumbent president of the Dominican Republic, has been re-elected for a second four-year term with a commanding lead of 57% in Sunday's presidential election, according to preliminary results on Monday. His victory is seen as an endorsement of his handling of the economy, which has experienced sustained growth, and his tough policies on migration from Haiti. Abinader's administration has also been noted for its anti-corruption stance, although some critics argue that these policies have been selectively applied. Economists expect Abinader to use his landslide win to address low tax revenue through potential tax reforms. The United States and other international leaders, including Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, have congratulated Abinader on his victory and expressed a desire to continue strengthening partnerships with his administration.

Dominican Republic: Luis Abinader has bucked the anti-incumbent trend in Latin America, with a clear victory (57%) in Sunday's presidential election, reward for sustained economic growth and, dare one say it, perhaps less corruption than in previous governments.
