Amable Aristy Castro (born 10 May 1949) is a politician and businessman from the Dominican Republic. He is a senior leader of the Social Christian Reformist Party (PRSC) and has been Senator for the province of La Altagracia. Aristy was presidencial candidate for his party in the 2008 presidential election. Due to the remarkable power and influence that he wields on his native province, he is known as the "Chieftain of Higüey" (Spanish: "El Cacique de Higüey").[3]

Aristy has been elected senator for La Altagracia 7 times in a row: 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2016.[6][7] Nevertheless, he has not been senator all those years: he resigned in the 1998-2002 period, he resigned in 1999, and he did not sworn in 2002 and 2006 leaving his senatorship to close friends; while he was chairman of the League of Dominican Municipalities (from 1999 to 2010). In 2010 he was threatened with impeachment and political disqualification if he left his senatorship to a friend again; he left his office in the League to a cousin of him and decided to sworn on 10 November 2010, nearly three months after August the 16th, the date marked by the constitution to do so.[8][9]

He has been described as one of the least laborious senators.[10]
