The Junta Central Electoral president Juan Sully Bonelly said that President Leonel Fernández is in his full right to campaign for the candidates of his party and attend promotional events organized by his party, the Partido de la Liberación Dominicana. Opposition parties have criticized President Fernández’s presence at acts where PLD candidates to congress and city governments are promoted. His critics say that the President uses government resources when he attends a campaign event.
