However, incumbent president Trujillo was re-elected after receiving 93% of the vote. His Dominican Party won every seat in the Congressional elections, as it had at every election since its founding. The 93% vote share was the lowest that a pro-Trujillo party or alliance would claim during Trujillo's rule. In every other election, the Dominican Party or its predecessor (the Confederation of Parties) claimed to have received 99 percent or more of the vote.Nohlen, pp252–253 Results y House +/– Senate +/– Rafael Trujillo Dominican Party 781389 45 +10 19 +3 Rafael Espaillat Democratic National Party 29765 0 New 0 New Francisco Prats Ramírez National Labour Party 29186 0 New 0 New +10 +3 Nohlen References Dominican Republic General Category:Elections in the Dominican Republic Category:Presidential elections in the Dominican Republic Category:Election and referendum articles with incomplete results Dominican Republic
