--- The context --- In the Dominican Republic, municipal leaders linked to the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) are carrying out political coordination activities ahead of the 2028 presidential elections. According to the organizers, these meetings aim to strengthen the municipal structure backing David Collado's presidential project and to give local governments a stronger voice. --- The facts --- According to figures provided by the promoters, a total of 108 municipal district directors, out of the 179 belonging to the PRM, reaffirmed their support for David Collado's presidential aspirations during a meeting of municipal leaders. The gathering brought together approximately 60 % of the party's district directors, according to the data supplied by the promoters. The organizers also reported that during the previous week a similar activity was held with the participation of 84 of the PRM's 122 municipal mayors, who likewise expressed their support for the political leader's aspirations. --- The positions --- The activity was led by Kelvin Cruz, general campaign coordinator; Víctor D'Aza, national coordinator for Municipal Affairs; Junior Peralta, director of Organization; Ángel de la Cruz, operations director; and Pedro Richardson, executive director. Also taking part were Nelson Núñez, in charge of the municipal mayors; Leoncito José, in charge of the municipal districts; and Alex Díaz, municipal political director. According to what was presented at the meeting, Víctor D'Aza emphasized that municipalism has a voice, leadership and decision-making capacity in the Dominican political future, and that municipalities play a decisive role in building a presidential project with a national vision. --- What remains unknown --- The information released by the organizers does not detail the next steps of this municipal coordination or how the expressed support will become permanent joint work between district directors and mayors. --- Unanswered questions --- How will this municipal structure stay active until 2028? What concrete tasks will the 108 district directors who expressed their support take on? Will similar meetings be repeated with other local government representatives linked to the PRM? --- EPM analysis --- The central point is the territorial scale that the promoters attribute to the gathering. By adding district directors and mayors, the organizers present local governments as an organized network capable of sustaining a national conversation from the ground up. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, the support attributed to David Collado should be read as a territorial organizing move rather than as a settled electoral definition. The figures come from the promoters and show a broad turnout among PRM district directors and mayors, two local levels in daily contact with citizens. If that coordination is sustained through constant work and verifiable proposals, municipalities could become a real advantage for any Dominican presidential aspiration heading into 2028.
