  • The PRM will swear in Luis Abinader as its president on Sunday, Sept. 6, alongside Juan Garrigó Mejía and Deligne Ascención Burgos in senior party posts.
  • The new leadership must maintain party unity and manage internal competition for the presidential nomination expected to follow Abinader.
  • The event will close the party’s 24th Ordinary National Convention in Santo Domingo, dedicated to the late politician Orlando Jorge Mera.

The Modern Revolutionary Party is opening a new political cycle with the swearing-in of President Luis Abinader as its top leader. The ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 6, as the party completes its 24th Ordinary National Convention.

Juan Garrigó Mejía will become secretary-general, while Deligne Ascención Burgos will serve as first national vice president. Their appointments form part of the renewal of the party’s main leadership positions.

The new leadership faces an early test: guiding the PRM toward the 2028 elections while preserving unity among its internal factions. It will also have to manage competition for the presidential candidacy that will eventually succeed Abinader.

The ceremony will take place at the San Carlos Sports Center in Santo Domingo. The convention is dedicated to Orlando Jorge Mera, the late former minister and party leader.
