Last night, First Lady Margarita Cedeno de Fernandez declined running for the PLD presidential nomination, stating that her only interest was for the ruling party to remain united in order to win the next elections and continue to guide the destiny of the Dominican people. At the last minute, the candidacy of the First Lady to the ruling party presidential nomination had been included by the Central Committee of the PLD. Actually, Cedeno never came forth to openly announce she accepted the nomination, leading to much speculation until the moment she declined to participate in the PLD primary set for 26 June 2011.

According to Diario Libre, Cedeno de Fernandez revealed her decision yesterday in a letter addressed to President Fernandez, Reinaldo Pared Perez, the PLD secretary general and Cesar Pina Toribio, the coordinator of the PLD's National Electoral Commission. The letter was delivered by Ana Valdez, the First Lady's assistant, to the members of the National Executive Committee during a meeting at the Presidential Palace last night. Pina Toribio made the announcement at the end of the meeting.

The First Lady made it clear that she would continue with her work supporting families, women, young people and the poorest citizens of the Dominican Republic. "I will continue to work with responsibility, transparency, fairness and passion for the nation. The day will come sooner or later when any Dominican woman, regardless of status, state or class, if the people want her, can take on this nation's destiny", she said.
