Administrative Minister of the Presidency José Ramón Peralta called for former President Leonel Fernández to stop making a scene and accept that he has lost the ruling party presidential nomination. Speaking on the radio talk show, El Sol de la Mañana, Peralta said that already others who have lost had accepted their defeat. Peralta described the primary as “transparent.”
Regarding Gonzalo Castillo, Peralta said while he has not yet been declared the official candidate for the PLD, he is sure Castillo will be the country’s next President in May 2020 and will continue the work of President Danilo Medina.
Peralta said that in the National District and 31 provinces, Medina-backed candidates had won 24 at the presidential level and 25 at the congressional level.
