PLD will return to power in 2028, according to the political leader and writer Ricardo Fajardo during an event held in Sánchez Ramírez, where he supported the political line that the purple party is pushing after its exit from the government. His declaration took place in an activity headed by Danilo Medina, with the presence of national and provincial leaders.
PLD will return to power: Ricardo Fajardo’s message
Fajardo, president of the movement Impulso28, maintained that there are conditions for the PLD will return to power in the May 2028 elections. The leader, sworn in by Medina last year, defended the party’s trajectory and assured that his proposal continues to connect with a part of the electorate that remembers their years of management.
In his intervention, he stated that the PLD has been the organization that “has demonstrated that to power one will serve the people”, a phrase that summarizes the tone of his speech and the bet to reposition the party in the midst of a more competitive political scenario.
Criticism of the government and bet for the return
Fajardo’s pronouncement also took place in a context of criticism of the country’s current situation. He pointed out deterioration in health services, setbacks in education, citizen insecurity, and an increase in the cost of living, topics that usually dominate the Dominican political debate and that the PLD uses frequently to contrast its management with the current administration.
In that line, he insisted that with the PLD will return to power because, according to him, the people conserve in their memory a stage in which well-being was not a pending promise, but a daily reality. That narrative seeks to strengthen the idea of government experience as the main electoral asset.
PLD will return to power: Danilo Medina’s weight
The event in Sánchez Ramírez had as its central figure Danilo Medina, former president and current president of the PLD, whose presence continues to be key in the internal reorganization of the organization. In the party, Medina continues to be a political and organic reference for leaders who bet on the reconstruction of their territorial force.
Lealtad, estructura y cálculo electoral
Fajardo reaffirmed his loyalty to Medina and promised to work “without rest” to achieve that the PLD will return to power. His message also pointed to maintaining cohesive the purple bases in a period in which the opposition seeks to recover space and articulate a return narrative.
Beyond the political act, the declaration reflects the PLD’s attempt to maintain public presence, reactivate cadres, and project a competitive candidacy for 2028. If that objective is achieved, it will depend on their ability to unite leadership, organization, and credibility in front of the voters.
For now, Ricardo Fajardo insists that the PLD will return to power and that the party still has a political route to return to govern the Dominican Republic in 2028.
