PRI divided over Estrella Sadhala as candidate

Lawyer Cesar Estrella Sadhal? who became a national hero for doing what everyone thought couldn’t be done, organize an undisputed national election, announced last week that he would join the Partido Revolucionario de Independencia as their presidential candidate for the elections year 2000. The members of the PRI, though, are split over whether this would be a blessing or would not be in their interests. One sector favors the launching of Estrella Sadhal?, who would run on his reputation for being good administrator and an honest man, while others prefer that the party continue to support the PRD. The PRD is a strong contender to win the presidency of year 2000.
