The first will be a meeting of the Political Committee, scheduled for February 12, in which the agenda of the Central Committee will be drawn up. Subsequently, this last body will meet to determine which leaders will be officially recognized as presidential candidates of the PLD.\n\nOnce that process is concluded, the party will set the date for an internal consultation to choose its presidential candidate, who will be formally presented within the deadlines established by electoral law, at the end of October 2027.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo. \u2013 The former president of the Republic and president of the Partido de la Liberaci\u00f3n Dominicana (PLD), Danilo Medina, announced this Sunday the beginning of a broad internal restructuring process of that political organization, with the purpose of strengthening its territorial structure and moving towards the selection of its next presidential candidate.
