The senators of the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano and Acuerdo de Santo Domingo met yesterday to debate who the Senate will name to direct the organization of the year 2000 presidential elections. Bautista Rojas Gómez, spokesman for the government party, criticized the announced intention to impose PRD candidates at the helm of the Junta Central Electoral, the nation’s electoral court. A formula whereby the judges were chosen by a consensus among the leading political parties led to the success of the 1996 presidential elections organization and that of the 1998 congressional elections.
