The members of the PRD met after at the party headquarters and expelled six more PRD deputies from the party for violation to the party’s directives. The Political Commission expelled Rafael Vásquez, Radhamés Castro, Manuel Mesa, Fátima Pérez, Eurípides Pérez and Emilio Crespo that voted in favor of Peguero Méndez. The party reasoned the elected deputies are "traitors to the thoughts of doctor Peña Gómez", the late leader of the party. The widow of Peña Gómez, Peggy Cabral, abstained from raising her hand to vote in favor of the expulsion. The party earlier in the month had expelled deputies-elect Tony Pérez, Dolores González, Pedro de León, Freddy Terrero, Dionisio Quezada and Carlos Gomez on 21 July. Party directors also said that the government could forget about the PRD reaching a consensus with the government on congressional bills and other issues, and that the PLD’s endorsement of Peguero Méndez had been a vote asking for confrontation with the PRD. Lic. Hatuey Decamps, party secretary, and Milagros Ortiz Bosch, senator for Santo Domingo said it is unlikely that the PRD will be able to sit down to talks with the government on national issues.
