The Partido Revolucionario Moderno (PRM) is intensifying its territorial organization and administrative preparations ahead of the 2027 internal conventions and the 2028 general elections. Internal competition for the presidential nomination remains a primary focus, with key figures consolidating regional support. In September 2026, the party held its XXIV National Ordinary Convention, where Luis Abinader was proclaimed president, succeeding José Ignacio Paliza. Deligne Ascención Burgos was sworn in as First National Vice President, and Juan Garrigó assumed the role of General Secretary. Carolina Mejía continues to build her ‘Carolina 2028’ project, which ~~now claims the backing of over 50 deputies, eight senators, and more than 120 mayors. Her campaign~~ has formalized its structure in regions such as La Altagracia and secured endorsements from ~~political leader Geanilda Vásquez~~ figures including Delia Josefina Ortiz, Anny Mambrú, and ~~Deputy Yancarlos Simanca, who highlighted~~ Jesús Colón. In late October 2026, Mejía officially launched the ~~inclusion of youth in her platform. However, recent polling by CID Latinoamérica shows a shift~~ National Youth Command, swearing in ~~internal preferences: while~~ 32 provincial youth campaign commands at Club San Carlos. Appointing Fernando Lagares as national coordinator, Mejía ~~holds 15%, Tourism Minister David Collado leads PRM presidential preferences~~ stated, “I do not come to make promises, I come to make a commitment,” proposing a government model that is “human and close,” yet balanced with ~~65%. Other~~ “discipline and a firm hand.” Despite growth, internal ~~aspirants, such as Wellington Arnaud, have also begun seeking endorsements. To prepare for upcoming primaries, the party~~ friction persists. Guido Gómez Mazara has ~~reopened its membership registry via the ‘Verifícate’ digital portal, with~~ cautioned party leadership ~~aiming~~ against using public resources for early campaigning or pressuring officials to ~~close registration in May. Despite these efforts,~~ support specific candidates. Additionally, while the party ~~faces~~ expands its agricultural presence in Santiago and recruits members globally, organizational ~~delays; as of mid-October 2026,~~ delays remain, with 31 ~~demarcations, including Santo Domingo Este and Navarrete, have yet~~ demarcations still needing to hold elective assemblies to define local authorities. ~~Meanwhile, internal tensions persist regarding political standing and the potential electoral threat posed by opposition figures like Omar Fernández.~~
