2018 Costa Rican Presidential Election Run-Off Sunday April 01,2018


Costa Rica's presidential election goes into a runoff after evangelical preacher Fabricio Alvarado won the first round but failed to secure enough votes to win outright.

He will face Carlos Alvarado of the centre-left Citizen's Action Party (PAC) in the second round on April 01,2018

The election was dominated by the issue of same-sex marriage, after a court ruled that it should be recognised.

Carlos Alvarado, the candidate for Costa Rica’s center-left ruling party, is to become his country’s next president after an election run-off Sunday April 01,2018 against an evangelical preacher, according a near-complete vote count by electoral authorities.

Carlos Alvarado, a 38-year-old former labor minister, won 60.66 percent of the ballots, against 39.33 percent for his ultra-conservative rival, Fabricio Alvarado (no relation), the Supreme Electoral Tribunal said, based on returns from more than 90 percent of polling stations.
