Dominican Republic PRM leadership and 2028 strategy

Overview

The Partido Revolucionario Moderno (PRM) is formalizing its leadership structure during its XXIV National Ordinary Convention at the Club Polideportivo San Carlos. President Luis Abinader is scheduled to be proclaimed party president, succeeding José Ignacio Paliza. The convention also includes the appointment of Juan Garrigó as general secretary and the swearing-in of Deligne Ascención Burgos as the first national vice president.

Internal tensions persist regarding the expansion of the Executive Directorate. While July statutory reforms planned to increase the body from 60 to 65 members, factional pressure has delayed elections, with conflicting reports suggesting between ten and fifteen new positions may be filled instead of the officially approved five. Potential candidates for the Directorate include Sigmund Freund, Guido Gómez Mazara, Adolfo Pérez, Eilyn Beltrán, Antoliano Peralta, and Luis Miguel De Camps.

As the party looks toward the 2028 elections, political maneuvering is intensifying. Minister of Culture Roberto Ángel Salcedo has not ruled out a run for the National District Mayoralty, a move reportedly supported by FNP leader Vinicio Castillo. Within President Abinader’s circle, elements are moving to support Tourism Minister David Collado, with Legislator Robinson Díaz noting Collado’s significant organizational strength. Conversely, Guido Gómez Mazara has criticized attempts to select candidates through consensus, arguing that candidates must compete via popular vote to uphold democratic principles. Meanwhile, allied parties such as MODA have formally recognized the leadership of José Ignacio Paliza for his role in maintaining party unity.
