The Central Electoral Board (JCE) Plenary has started the process of supervision of the PRSC assembly set for this Sunday, 26 January in order to elect more than 600 party posts. Yesterday afternoon, Wednesday 22 January JCE president Roberto Rosario chaired a working session with PRSC interim president Joaquin Ricardo Garcia, general secretary Ramon Rogelio Genao, organizational secretary Maximo Castro Silverio, electoral affairs coordinator Domingo Placido, and Tacito Perdomo, the party delegate at the JCE.
During the meeting it was decided that JCE inspectors would draw up the act of the closure of registration of candidates who will take part in the election assembly. They also agreed to hold another meeting today, Thursday 23 January, but just between the JCE and PRSC specialists in order to begin the process of verifying the voting rolls, composed of just over 2,000 members, and which could include duplicate names or deceased people. Yesterday morning, Wednesday 22 January, Alexandra Izquierdo was registered as a candidate for the party vice-presidency and Miguel Bogaert as a candidate for the post of organizational secretary.
Nevertheless, Diario Libre reports that last night at the deadline for registering the candidates, Minister of Foreign Relations Carlos Morales Troncoso was not registered as a candidate for the party presidency. The candidates who have registered for the presidency were Josecito Hazim, Amable Aristy Castro, Quique Antun and Guillermo Martinez.
