The total number of votes for Marcos was 8,810. He was followed by the long-time Alcalde, Franklin Valdés, with 20.35% of the votes or 5,185. *Marcos was a candidate in the 2014 election but lost to Valdés, by a narrow margin, after originally being declared the winner. I was in Puerto during that election, which had a lot of controversy surrounding the results, such as claims that there was vote buying, results were altered, and ballets were burned. There was even a request filed with the Electoral Tribunal for a new election, which did not happen.
