Former President Hipolito Mejia is denying published reports and statements by his former spokesperson Hector Guzman that he will revive his PPH (Proyecto Presidencial Hipolito) team with a view to positioning himself as a PRD pre-candidate for the 2012 presidential election. He claims that his role within the PRD party is to balance forces to make sure that things run smoothly and that party rules are met. Mejia told Mundo Vision that he is in no position to express his aspirations and that his goal is to continue working for the PRD. He suggested that a workshop to evaluate the party's participation in the 16 May presidential election should take place on 22 and 23 June. A blueprint of the party's next steps would come from that meeting, he says. The Constitution bans the former President from running for President. But there is speculation that President Leonel Fernandez could push through changes to the Constitution that would allow himself and thus Mejia to run again.
