Hoy newspaper reported that it is uncertain whether former President Joaquín Balaguer will be the presidential candidate of the Partido Reformista Social Cristiano. According to a report, some party leaders feel that his running again will negatively affect his historical image, that of the country and that of the party. Others feel that Balaguer is the guarantee that the PRSC will return to power in the elections of next year. The former statesman is 92 years old. Party president Donald Reid Cabral said that the priority for the PRSC is not the election of the presidential candidate, but the restructuring and organization of the party. The PRSC has traditionally been the last political party to announce their presidential contender.
