The Partido Reformista Social Cristiano announced that Guillermo Sued will be the party’s candidate for mayor in Santiago, the country’s second largest city. Engineer Angel Acosta will be the party’s candidate for senator. In La Romana, Frank Martínez was re-elected candidate for senator and Miguel Enrique Seijas will run for mayor on the PRSC ticket. The Partido Reformista Social Cristiano has held primaries in 18 provinces of the country since February 17, but the political organization of Dr. Joaquín Balaguer has been slow in releasing the names of the winners. As occurred in the case of the other leading political parties, there have been complaints of irregularities. The PRSC primaries are the responsibility of Donald Reid Cabral, Jacinto Peynado, Carlos Morales Troncoso, Johnny Jones and Federico Antún Batlle. The parties have until February 16 to announce their alliances and until March 16 to announce their candidates for the municipal and congressional elections set for May 16, 1998.
