Jose Raul Mulino was declared Panama's president-elect after the presidential elections held Sunday. Mulino, 64, won the single-round, first-past-the-post race with more than a third of votes cast, the country's electoral tribunal said. He was declared winner having secured about 34% of the ballots tallied with over 90% of the total vote counted. Ricardo Lombana, who trailed in second place with about 25% of the vote, congratulated Mulino on his victory. Mulino, a right-wing politician, served as interior and security minister during Martinelli's administration from 2009 to 2014. Among his top priorities will be fixing Panama's pressing economic problems, tackling corruption, and restoring the country's reputation as an investment haven. Source: Qatar News Agency
