"I reiterate, I have no interest in occupying the position of Governor," Vázquez said in a tweet Sunday."It is a Constitutional opinion. I hope that the Governor identifies and submits a candidate for the position of Secretary of State before August 2 and I have told him so."because she is seen as loyal to Rosselló.
