Jacinto Peynado
Jacinto Peynado is a Dominican politician who served as the presidential candidate for the Partido Reformista Social Cristiano (PRSC) in the 1996 elections, marking a significant shift for the party as it was the first time they did not have their long-time leader, Joaquín Balaguer, as a candidate. Despite his efforts, Peynado secured only 15% of the votes, the lowest in the party's history for a presidential election, as he faced challenges without Balaguer's support.
