DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: PRD still trying to rebuild itself
The Dominican Republic (DR)’s main opposition party, the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano (PRD), is struggling to overcome the internal political crisis it has faced since its third consecutive defeat at the polls in the 2012 presidential elections. As the party prepares to stage its 30th national party convention where it will decide its plan of action up to the next (2016) presidential elections, it remains deeply divided. With no signs that the differences between the opposing factions led by party president Miguel Vargas Maldonado and former president, Hipólito Mejía (2000-2004), are any closer to being bridged, the possibility of a rupture are stronger than ever. The big question is whether this would ultimately weaken or strengthen the PRD.
