Maritza López de Ortiz, the coordinator of the Progressive Bloc of the PLD (el Partido de la Liberación Dominicana), says she has conducted a survey among the members of her party PLD.

A president who has done so much to improve education, infrastructure, fighting corruption and improving the tourism industry.
Many members want the President to stand for election for a third term.
The elections will be held in 2020.
The problem is that according to the Constitution a president may exercise office for only two terms.
This is in accordance with the Constitution of the United States.
Members of opposition parties are against re-election.
The PRD, for example, want their candidate Hipolito Mejia stand for re-election.
