Costa Rica's Next President Could Be a Libertarian
According to latest poll data
A second round of voting in April in Costa Rica's presidential race could turn the dynamics upside-down, as current third-place candidate Otto Guevara would be favored.
This is according to the latest poll released by the daily La Nación, the first time a public poll has examined scenarios if no candidate succeeds in getting more than 40 percent of the vote in the first round.
The poll ran three scenarios between the top polling candidates – the ruling National Liberation Party (PLN) nominee Johnny Araya, the progressive Broad Front Party candidate José María Villalta, and the Libertarian Movement Party's Guevara.
Guevara likely would defeat both Villalta and Araya – if Guevara makes it to the second round – while Araya would lose to Villalta, La Nación's poll predicted.
