Santiago Matías promotes his political project “Dominicans First” in El Seibo and Miches
The renowned businessman Santiago Matías, popularly known as Alofoke, continues with firm steps the process of collecting signatures for the formalization of his political organization, “Dominicanos Primero”. On this occasion, the tour moved to the municipalities of Santa Cruz de El Seibo and Miches, where hundreds of citizens gathered to learn about the proposal firsthand.
The central objective of this national deployment is to reach the goal of one million signatures, a fundamental requirement to achieve official recognition before the Central Electoral Board and consolidate a solid structure ahead of the 2028 presidential elections.
Closeness to the people in the East
The day in Santa Cruz de El Seibo had Duarte Park as its meeting point, a space where Matías interacted with attendees, listened to their concerns, and explained the fundamental pillars of his project. The reception was notable, with citizens expressing their interest in the entry of new figures into the national political spectrum.
Get to winning, Foke. We have to put people in who will fight for the homeland.

After finishing the activities in the provincial capital, the “Dominicanos Primero” team moved to the municipality of Miches, maintaining the same dynamic of direct contact and collection of citizen support.
National expansion and international reach

The growth plans are not limited to the island; as reported, the initiative will soon extend to the Dominican diaspora.
