The men of President Hipolito Mejia have petitioned that the Central Electoral Board (JCE) reject the plebiscite called for Sunday, 12 October, whereby PRD party members would pronounce their opinion on re-election within the party. Labor Secretary Milton Ray Guevara led a committee of the PPH faction (including Agriculture Minister Eligio Jaquez, Customs Department Director Vicente Sanchez Baret, Interior & Police Minister Franco Badia) that supports the re-election of President Mejia, which submitted the opposing motion to the JCE.

The president of the disputes chamber of the JCE, Salvador Ramos, said he would issue a decision shortly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
