Legislative composition

Seats by party for recent elections, and whether the governing coalition held a majority. In a fragmented system a governing majority is assembled across several parties — no party governs alone; a coalition majority is not a single-party majority. Each bar orders blocs left→right with a marker at the majority line.

FSP member parties (highlighted FSP): Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD). The Dominican Republic's FSP member is the Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD), founded by Juan Bosch and listed on Regalado's 2008 roster. In government the PLD governed as a broadly centrist, pro-business party — its FSP affiliation is documented, though analysts note its policy record is not straightforwardly left. It held the presidency 1996–2000 and 2004–2020 and lost power in 2020.

2020 — Cámara de Diputados (190 seats; majority = 96)

Party	Full name	Seats	Alignment
PRM	Partido Revolucionario Moderno	86	Government
PLD FSP	Partido de la Liberación Dominicana	75	Opposition
others	Fuerza del Pueblo, PRSC, PRD and minor parties	29	Mixed / centrão

FSP member parties together: 75 of 190 (39%) — 21 seats short of the 96-seat majority. The FSP parties sat in opposition.

Government: Luis Abinader (PRM) — commanded a working majority. FSP party in government: no. The end of 16 years of PLD rule: the FSP member fell from 106 to 75 seats and lost the presidency. The PLD had also split — Leonel Fernández's breakaway Fuerza del Pueblo drew away part of its vote. The PRM alone (86 of 190) fell just short of an absolute majority, but with allied minor parties the incoming Abinader government controlled the chamber (per CSIS) and swept most Senate races.
