The PLD is asking the Central Electoral Board (JCE) to reject the request by the PRD and PRSC to formally launch presidential campaigning in December. Electoral Law 275-97 establishes that the JCE will open the electoral campaign "no later than 90 days before election day." The presidential elections are set for 16 May 2008.
The PLD also said that they would remove their political ad campaigns from TV if the rival political parties did the same.
The PLD says that political proclamations should be made in the month of January and says that it is unacceptable for the PRD and PRSC to push for moving the dates forward when civil society and the private sector have called for a reduction in political campaigning.
