Laura Fernandez Delgado Takes Early Lead in Costa Rica Presidential Race
Regarded as the political successor to outgoing President Rodrigo Chaves Robles, Fernandez Delgado holds a clear advantage over her competitors and appears on track to win the presidency in the first round. Early tallies, with votes counted from over one-third of polling stations, show her leading with 326,733 votes, or 53%, comfortably above the 40% threshold required for a first-round victory.
In second place is Alvaro Ramos of the National Liberation Party (PLN), who has received 185,257 votes, or roughly 30.06%.
As counting progressed to 88.43% of polling stations, Fernandez Delgado maintained her lead with 48.51% of the vote, surpassing one million ballots and confirming her likely first-round win. Ramos, the leftist runner-up, remained at 33.32%, while the Liberal Party garnered 750,585 votes.
The election featured a particularly crowded field of 20 candidates. However, 18 of them failed to gain more than 4% of the vote in the preliminary count, highlighting the dominance of the leading contenders.
