Danilo, Candelier in 2008

Retired General Pedro de Jesus Candelier and former Presidential Minister Danilo Medina have both announced that they plan to run for President in 2008. Candelier criticized recent polls, claiming that they are trying to exclude him from the electoral process by only presenting the major parties as political options.
