Three directors of the Partido Reformista Social Cristiano said that the low percentage points the PRSC is showing in the polls is the consequence of the delays in the start of the political campaigns. Donald Reid Cabral, Federico Antún Batlle and candidate for mayor of Santo Domingo, Rafael Corporán de los Santos, attributed the third place position to the fact that the party started its campaign in April. Furthermore, the spokesman for the PRSC’s campaign command, Ramón Pérez Martínez, said that it is expected that former President Balaguer himself will campaign on the streets in favor of his party. "Nobody has won more elections than Balaguer and he, obviously, always knows what has to be done," said Pérez Martínez. All expect the PRSC to gain percentage points in the next few days. The elections will be held on 16 May.
