HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 26 (ACN) Today is a celebration, a day of joys, confirmation and convictions, said Miguel Diaz-Canel, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic.

After exercising his right to vote at polling station number 1 of the 44th constituency, located at the provincial headquarters of the National Association of Small Farmers, in Santa Clara (central Cuba), the Cuban leader shared with the national and foreign press the importance of this election process for the country, while expressing his full confidence in the people and their willingness to vote.
