The former general manager of the Dominican Public Electricity Corporation (CDEEE) is the next PLD member to formally announce his bid to be the party’s candidate in the 2016 presidential election. Other hopefuls that have announced their aspirations are Minister of Tourism Francisco Javier Garcia, Minister of Economy Temistocles Montas, and Senate president Reinaldo Pared Perez.
On Sunday 16 March, Segura appointed his work team at an event held at the Club Mauricio Baez in Santo Domingo.
“I inform the country and especially the members of the PLD that I aspire to become the presidential candidate of the Dominican Liberation Party in the 2016 elections of 2016 to then reach the presidency of the Republic.” He said his proposal is based on social justice, progress, modernity and strengthening democratic governance.
Segura was removed from his post at the CDEEE by President Leonel Fernandez amidst claims of widespread corruption and political patronage in office.
