Costa Ricans began trooping to the polls Sunday to choose a new president from a crowded field, with no clear favorite for tackling growing economic concerns in one of Latin America's stablest democracies.

Handout picture released by Costa Rica’s Presidency press office showing Costa Rican President Carlos Alvarado casting his vote during general elections in San Jose, on February 6, 2022. – Costa Ricans head to the polls Sunday with a crowded presidential field and no clear favorite for tackling growing economic concerns in one of Latin America’s stablest democracies.

The national election tribunal is expected to announce results some three hours after polls close, but a presidential runoff in April is anticipated. “The ruling party is completely weakened and has no chance” after two successive terms in office, said political analyst Eugenia Aguirre. According to one poll published this month, former president Jose Maria Figueres of the PLN leads the race with just over 17 percent of stated support, followed by the PUSC’s Lineth Saborio on just under 13 percent.“I hope that those who win really think of the people and not of themselves,” said 77-year-old retiree Mayra Sanchez, who arrived to vote early in San Jose.

Polls show evangelical Christian singer Fabricio Alvarado Munoz of the right-wing New Republic Party in third spot with just over 10 percent.
