Arrecife (Lanzarote) (EFE) .
Duque accesses the Mayor’s Office by virtue of the pact signed between the CC, which provides seven councilors, and the PP, which adds its three councilors, who, together with Vox, have an absolute majority, which has left the PSOE in opposition, which obtained eight councillors, and the sole representative of Primero Teguise and Nueva Canarias.
The PSOE won the last elections in Teguise after 40 years of insular and nationalist governments, although on neither occasion has it managed to govern.
Olivia Duque is the first woman to occupy the Teguise Mayor’s Office and replaces the elected president of the Cabildo, Oswaldo Betancort, from CC.
In Lanzarote, the other mystery was located in the municipality of Haría, in the north of the island, where Alfreddo Villalva, from the PSOE, has become the new mayor of the municipality with the sole support of the four councilors from his party, enough to become with the cane, since Compromiso por Haría (with the same number of councillors), resigned its candidacy, something that NC also decided to do.
The three PMH councilors and the only CC mayor voted for their heads of list, although, given that the PSOE was the party with the most votes on May 28, only one vote behind the party of Chaxiraxi Niz, Compromiso por Would, Villalba has finally been proclaimed mayor of the municipality.
In the municipality of Arrecife there have been no surprises and Astrid Pérez, from the PP, will continue to lead the Mayor’s Office, having the support of the seven councilors from her party and the seven from CC, formations that have established an agreement to govern together the Cabildo and the municipalities of Arrecife and Teguise.
However, Pérez could resign from office in the coming days if her future appointment as president of the Parliament of the Canary Islands is confirmed, before what would be replaced in the Mayor’s Office by Jonatan de León, number three on the PP list.
In the municipalities of Yaiza, Tinajo and San Bartolomé, their mayors until now continue to lead their consistories, as they all have absolute majorities.
Thus, Oscar Noda, from Unidos Por Yaiza, is the mayor of Yaiza; Jesús Machín, from CC, begins his fifth term as mayor of Tinajo, and Isidro Pérez, from PSOE, begins his second legislature as Mayor of San Bartolomé.
In the municipality of Tías, José Juan Cruz, from the PSOE, will continue to lead the Mayor’s Office by revalidating the government agreement that he already had in the last legislature with the only Podemos councilor in the corporation, which will allow them to add eleven councilors, that they are an absolute majority.
