The Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE) declared as inadmissible by law a demand for annulment of the proclaimed winners of the XXX National Ordinary Convention of the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD) held last 20 July 2014.
Likewise, the high court said that it was evident that the plaintiff, Guido Orlando Gomez Mazara, did not correctly exhaust the procedures for challenging the results inside the political organization. He erred in starting the challenge before the National Organizing Commission (CNC), when according to Article 19 of the Conventions Regulations, that court is the second level of internal jurisdiction. Gomez skipped the first level of jurisdiction, the Local Organizing Commissions of the Convention (CLOs). By doing this, he violated the statutory mandates and regulations.
The tribunal told Diario Libre reporters that the intervention of the high court is conditioned to the claimant having previously exhausted the dispute resolution bodies according to the internal rules of the party.
