Shifting politico jumps off the opposition party’s campaign

Santo Domingo.- Kalil Michel, the latest politico to jump ship amid the internal strife in the opposition PRD party said Monday that other members of the entity, who belong to the faction of PRD president Miguel Vargas, will also vote against him and for Danilo Medina, of the ruling PLD party.

Michel, who was voted a National District City councilmember on the PLD municipal ticket, had resigned from in 2008 when he announced his support for Vargas.

“I’m going to vote for Danilo Medina and the PLD just like many of us who form part of the current of Miguel Vargas Maldonado, because Hipolito Mejia has done irreparable damage to the PRD,” the official said.
