Despite the Constitution's law that prohibits the President’s reelection for a following period, as many as 50 PLD party deputies have reportedly joined 23 senators in the effort.

Mario Hidalgo, Deputy of La Vega spoke of how the group feels Leonel is the PLD’s best asset and for which they support his continuing in office.

During the coming days and weeks many of the PLD Deputy's will campaign and promote Leonel's right to stand again.
