Over 1,000 pre-candidates to congressional and municipal posts have registered with the Partido Reformista Social Cristiano. Carlos Morales Troncoso, member of the Committee of Three upon whom former President Balaguer delegated the management of the party, postponed until 12 January the deadline for the registration of candidates in the primary. Originally, former President Balaguer had instructed that the party choose its candidates by surveys, but he changed his mind and now favors the celebration of primaries. Candidates will be chosen from 17 January through 8 February.
