Attorney General Francisco Dominguez Brito is seriously considering representing the PLD and may compete for senator for Santiago in the 16 May 2006 congressional election. He would have to temporally leave his post to campaign for that position. Listin Diario reported that Dominguez Brito could be proclaimed on Sunday, 5 February at an event in the Palacio de los Deportes. In the previous congressional and municipal election, Dominguez Brito and the PLD denounced fraud. The JCE acknowledge the irregularities, but did not change the verdict. Dominguez Brito said he would announce his decision next week.
