Partido Revolucionario Dominicano Secretary General Hatuey de Camps’s proposal for the celebration of a convention of delegates instead of open primaries to choose the party’s presidential has been rejected by all the presidential candidates and by party directors. Hipólito Mejía, Rafael Suberví Bonilla and José Rafael Abinader, told Hoy newspaper they do not agree with the proposal made by De Camps, who aspires to be the party’s presidential candidate in the 2000 presidential election. Enmanuel Esquea Guerrero, president of the PRD, said that the party bylaws establish the presidential candidate will be chosen by the universal vote of party members. The PRD convention is set for 20 June.
