DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: PRSC ends alliance with PLD
The ruling centre-left Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD) of President Danilo Medina lost its main political ally this month after the centre-right Partido Reformista Social Cristiano (PRSC) announced its withdrawal from the alliance forged with the PLD ahead of the 2012 general elections. While the PRSC has had a long standing affinity with the PLD, its leadership said the move was necessary to consolidate the party’s political independence in order to vie for power in the “short and medium term”. This suggests that as Medina approaches the midway point of his four-year term, political manoeuvring is already under way ahead of 2016 general elections.
