Political movements within the Dominican Republic have experienced recent leadership departures. Deputy Elpidio Infante withdrew from the presidential project led by Tourism Minister David Collado, citing a lack of respect during an event in La Vega. Following his exit, reports suggested Infante might support Wellington Arnaud.

Subsequently, Alexander Liz de Jesús and his entire political team resigned from Wellington Arnaud’s presidential project. Liz de Jesús, who had supported Arnaud’s candidacy since 2018, stated that his departure was due to an evaluation of his political future, noting that the growth of a political project does not always result in the development of those who helped build it.
