The writing was on the wall and Rafael Calderon, the PRD deputy for Azua and former administrative secretary during the Hipolito Mejia administration, had been preparing for the outcome.
The PRD has agreed to expel Calderon from the party. It is now likely that Calderon will move to the ranks of the PLD.
Veteran PRD stalwart Calderon was a friend of late PRD leader Jose Francisco Pena Gomez and a close aide of former president Hipolito Mejia. Calderon says he became disenchanted when current PRD president Miguel Vargas Maldonado promised the Azua Deputy post to an ally, instead of allowing him to run for re-election. Calderon then met with President Leonel Fernandez to discuss the possibility of running on a PLD ticket. Calderon said that Fernandez said he would consult the PLD party on the issue.
The PRD also agreed to reject fraud claims by Guido Gomez Mazara and Tony Pena Guaba.
