Political support is coalescing around Tourism Minister David Collado for a potential 2028 presidential candidacy within the Partido Revolucionario Moderno (PRM) in the Dominican Republic. In mid-August, Eduardo ‘Yayo’ Sanz Lovatón endorsed Collado, utilizing a national structure focused on defending the legacy of Luis Abinader to bolster the candidacy. Sanz Lovatón stated the party must prioritize “collective interests over personal ambition” to ensure political stability. By late August and into the end of the month, this momentum solidified in the Dajabón province. Legislative and municipal authorities of the ~~PRM have formally expressed support for Collado’s aspirations. Key endorsers in the region include~~ PRM, including Senator Ney Rodríguez, Deputy Tony Bengoa, and Mayor Santiago ~~Riverón.~~ Riverón, have formally expressed support for Collado’s aspirations. These endorsements are part of a broader series of municipal and provincial assemblies organized by Collado’s political team to establish organizational structures. While these efforts to build territorial support continue, Collado has not personally attended the assemblies to maintain his current responsibilities as Minister of Tourism. As of ~~late~~ August 31, 2026, these activities are part of an intensifying period of political mobilization across the Dominican Republic as various parties organize for the 2028 presidential elections. While Collado builds momentum within the ruling PRM, other parties are also positioning themselves, including the Fuerza del Pueblo (FP) and the Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD).
