Former Minister of Public Works Victor Diaz Rua is campaigning for the presidential candidacy of former President Leonel Fernandez. News reports say that Diaz Rua told PLD members to not commit now to any candidate because the former President and president of the PLD would announce his formal intention at being elected presidential candidate of the party in January 2015. Other PLD political party members have announced their aspirations to be the ruling party’s presidential candidate in the May 2016 election.
Diaz Rua is under investigation for corruption in office and money laundering, reports Hoy.

JUDEL and MIL announced that on Sunday, 10 August 2014, Leonel Fernandez would preside over a political act with the swearing of thousands of youths to participate in the movement.
