He was recently named the presidential candidate for the National Party of Veterans and Civilians (PNVC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dom\u00ednguez always had working against him the fact that he is still a United States citizen.

He has already appeared in several polls. In the January 2020 Gallup poll said he had 5.8% popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision is in Resolution 18-2020 signed by Julio C\u00e9sar Casta\u00f1os Guzm\u00e1n, Presidente; Roberto B.

The resolution states: \u201cIt is verified that Luis Jose Ramfis Rafael Dominguez Truijllo has not documented his resignation to the nationality acquired by birth ten years in advance, nor has he resided in the country during the ten years prior to the nomination of the position he aspires to, for which reason and according to the provisions of Article 20 of the Constitution of the Republic, it is not appropriate to admit his candidacy to the Presidency of the Republic proposed by the National Party of Citizen&#8217;s Will (PNVC).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/listindiario.com\/la-republica\/2020\/02\/24\/605676\/jce-rechaza-la-candidatura-de-ramfis-trujillo\">Listin Diario<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/jce.gob.do\/\">JCE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>25 February 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The plenary of the Central Electoral Board (JCE) ruled that Luis Jos\u00e9 Ramfis Rafael Dom\u00ednguez Trujillo is not eligible to run for President in the Dominican Republic.
