PLD advances in internal reorganization with a view to the 2028 elections

Santo Domingo. – The Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) held a meeting of its Political Committee this Sunday, in which 43 of its members participated, to follow up on the work agenda and the structural reorganization of the organization in preparation for the 2028 elections. The PLD's Secretary General, Johnny Pujols, reported that the organization concluded the first phase of its Organizational and Electoral Line (LOE) plan, focused on the validation of base, intermediate, and central committee presidents, now entering a second stage of territorial positioning, which already reaches 20% of the electoral precincts. During the meeting, reports were also presented by the Secretariat of International Affairs, headed by Gustavo Sánchez, on official visits to Spain with leaders of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and other organizations, as part of the strategy to strengthen international ties and political training programs. Also, the proposals of more than 40 heads of secretariats were reviewed, who presented teams of up to 12 undersecretaries. A commission headed by members Iván Lorenzo, Zoraima Cuello, and Juan Temístocles Montás, along with Celenia Vidal, will be in charge of evaluating profiles to ensure compliance with the statutes and avoid duplication.

Pujols emphasized that the organization is working with an eye on 2028 with sufficient anticipation, learning from previous processes and ensuring that each leader knows their area of work to design the electoral strategy that will allow a return to power.

"This is not something that can be improvised overnight. We are reorganizing the party and at the same time fulfilling our role as a responsible opposition," concluded the general secretary.
