2008 Puerto Rican general election (original) (raw)
- The 2008 Puerto Rican general elections were held on Tuesday, November 4, 2008 to elect the officials of the Government of Puerto Rico that would serve for the next four years, most notably the Governor of Puerto Rico. The election was won by incumbent Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico Luis Fortuño (from the New Progressive Party), who defeated the incumbent Governor, Aníbal Acevedo Vilá (from the Popular Democratic Party). Fortuño received 1,025,965 votes, and Acevedo Vilá 801,071. Also, most of the other positions were won by the candidates of the New Progressive Party, who ended up with a majority of seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives. The elections occurred after one term of what was called "shared government", as a result of the 2004 elections. Because of this, the island had a Governor from one party (Acevedo Vilá), while the opposing party held a majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives. The struggles faced by the opposing parties attempts at cooperation, mixed with the global economic crisis, paved the campaign for this elections. Also, Acevedo Vilá was facing criminal accusations at the time. Fortuño was sworn in as Governor of Puerto Rico on January 2, 2009. (en)

Les élections ont été remportées par Luis Fortuño (membre du Nouveau parti progressiste), commissaire résident en exercice, qui a battu le gouverneur sortant, Aníbal Acevedo Vilá (membre du Parti populaire démocrate). Fortuño a reçu 1 025 965 voix et Acevedo Vilá 801 071. En outre, la plupart des autres postes ont été remportés par les candidats du NPP, qui se sont retrouvés avec une majorité de sièges au Sénat et à la Chambre des représentants. Les élections ont eu lieu après un mandat de ce que l'on a appelé le "gouvernement partagé", à la suite des élections de 2004. À cause de cela, l'île avait un gouverneur d'un parti (Acevedo Vilá), tandis que le parti adverse détenait la majorité au Sénat et à la Chambre des représentants. La lutte pour la coopération des partis opposés, conjuguée à la crise économique mondiale, a ouvert la voie à la tenue de ces élections. En outre, Acevedo Vilá faisait face à des accusations criminelles à l'époque. Fortuño a été élu en tant que gouverneur de Porto Rico le 2 janvier 2009. (fr)
