Sumario:The analysis of transformation of political parties as well as the party system have taken place after the disappearance of the three mayor political leaders and founders of the three most important modern political parties: Bosch (PLD), Peña Gómez (PRD) and Balaguer (PRSC).

Finally, a few notes have been provided in order to address the development of a neopatrimonialist elite and clientelistic management of electoral politics.
