Ever since the Central Electoral Board got off to a bad start allowing political parties to fail to meet the first deadline, problems have mounted up. With the 16 May election date just around the corner, the JCE still does not have a clear listing of who is running for which party. Alliances and differences within the parties have the scrimmages for candidacies still ongoing. The JCE Chamber of Disputes, headed by Judge Salvador Ramos, is still reviewing differences in the choice of candidates. As reported in Diario Libre, most of the candidacies being disputed are connected with the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD) candidacies that affect their allied parties, and PRD members who feel they should not have been excluded to give way to a PRSC candidate under the so-called Pink Alliance that merged the white and red colored parties on the same ticket.


Diario Libre reports that displaced PRD candidates are suggesting that the candidates' term should be shared, with each alliance candidate serving for two years.
