The political committee of the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano, the most voted in the year 1996 presidential elections and the 1998 congressional and municipal elections, announced it will elect its presidential candidate for the election of year 2000 in mid February 1999. Previously the party will carry out a restructuring of the board of the party. The decisions were reached during a workshop held at the Hotel Hamaca over the weekend. The early choice of the PRD candidate is likely to bring about an early selection of the PLD and PRSC candidates, and thus an early opening of political activities in the DR.
