Danilo Medina and Johnny Pujols will head this Sunday a massive assembly of the Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD) in Santa Cruz de Barahona. The event, scheduled for 10am at the Polideportivo of the Villa Olímpica, will bring together hundreds of members, leaders and sympathizers from the municipalities and municipal districts of the province.
Agenda of the act with main interventions
The day will begin with words from local leaders, followed by the speech of the general secretary, Johnny Pujols, and will end with the closing speech by the president of the PLD, Danilo Medina. In this framework, numerous new militants will be sworn in, mostly young first-time voters, who will formally join the party’s register.
Recent antecedents of expansion of the PLD in the zone
This assembly comes after a week of intense activities led by Johnny Pujols, who inaugurated eight municipal offices of the PLD in different points of Barahona. Such efforts reflect the organizational push of the party in the southwest region, where Danilo Medina and Johnny Pujols seek to strengthen the militant base ahead of future elections.
Historical context of leadership in the PLD
Danilo Medina, former president of the Republic between 2012 and 2020, assumed the presidency of the PLD in 2023 after an internal restructuring. Under his leadership, the party has emphasized the recruitment of new members, with a focus on provinces such as Barahona, the cradle of historical peledeist figures. Johnny Pujols, as general secretary, has coordinated provincial tours that have added thousands of affiliates in recent months, according to internal data from the Political Committee.
Experts in Dominican politics highlight that events like this consolidate the territorial presence of the PLD. The provincial direction and a representation of the Political Committee will accompany Danilo Medina and Johnny Pujols, underscoring party unity. The activity responds to a base strategy that has allowed the PLD to recover ground after the 2024 elections.
