With the 16 May election behind us, the PLD-majority Chamber of Deputies has announced that one of its priorities is to reform the Dominican Constitution. PRSC deputy Luis Gonzalez Sanchez said they would not wait for President Leonel Fernandez to present a draft to Congress on 16 August, when he begins his new term. As reported in Diario Libre, the representative for Bahoruco province said that they would retake a five-year old bill and merge it with the year-old draft prepared by a group of experts convened by President Leonel Fernandez.

The Deputies announced they would resume work after having been off in April and May for participation in the electoral campaign.
