RE: Will Hipolito ever govern again?
It's a possibility, due to the fact that, nothwithstanding all the information available to the electorate due to the marvels of this technological age, the dominican voter is still prone to commit serious mistakes at the time of casting his/her vote, the main reason for this being the clientelistic nature of dominican politics, people would cast their vote according to the benefits that said politician would be capable of giving to them once the power is achieved, instead of casting their vote according to the governmental program of the candidates as it is done on other countries.

RE: Will Hipolito ever govern again?
While reading your post, I was thinking on a big "IMPOSIBLE", but then y rememberd that, eaven with the desaster of economy, on the las election Hipolito still got 37% of the votes.

So, yes, it could happen...
but let´s hope it won´t
