Santo Domingo.- The Convention organizers of Dominican Republic’s major opposition party (PRD) started to register candidates on Thursday, with several mayors and those seeking other posts immediately doing so.

Speaking at PRD headquarters, Commission president Julio Maríñez said those seeking national posts can register for only one district, and will be open until February 15.
