According to political news radio commentators Alfredo Freites and Ramón Colombo, the Partido Reformista Social Cristiano (PRSC) chose well known TV producer Rafael Corporán de los Santos, a former mayor, as candidate to mayor for the PRSC not because of his chance of winning the election, but because the party feels he can reap in sufficient votes to ensure the PRSC many aldermen seats in the municipality. Party leader and former long-time President of the Republic, Dr. Joaquín Balaguer in a public presentation at the party seat on Av. Tiradentes on Sunday urged party members to offer full support to the candidacy of Corporán de los Santos, his choice for candidate to mayor for Santo Domingo.
