The Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) has announced the election of Andres Bautista Garcia as party president and Jesus Vasquez Martinez as general secretary. Former Vice President Milagros Ortiz Bosch will chair the organizing committee, whose other members are Hugo Tolentino Dipp, Antonio Almonte Ramos, Cesar Sanchez, Jose Garcia, Sonia Guzman and Antonio de Jesus Rodriguez.
During its convention held yesterday, Sunday 1 February at the Dominican Fiesta Hotel in Santo Domingo, the party announced that its primary would be held 29 March 2015 to choose the party’s candidates in the 15 May 2016 national election.
The PRM also appointed acting presidents Orlando Jorge Mera, Cesar Cedeno, Roberto Fulcar, Sonia Guzman, Geanilda Vasquez and Hugo Tolentino.
Around 2,000 party delegates attended the convention along with leading party activists including former President Hipolito Mejia, Luis Abinader, Amaury Justo Duarte and Ramon Alburquerque.
In his acceptance speech, Bautista announced the party’s commitment to uniting the country in order to defeat indifference and build hope. He said that he would strictly apply the bylaws of the new party, a dissident offshoot of the opposition PRD. “We are convinced that only together can we Dominicans build a better destiny for our people,” he said.
