Arias Waits Patiently For "Official" Word
Acting more like a president-elect than a presidential candidate, Partido Liberación Nacional (PLN) leader, Oscar Arias, is going about the business of forming a new governmentm, unlike Ottón Solís of the Partido Acción Cuidadana (PAC), who many believe he is acting like a cry-baby for not taking the loss gracefully.

It has been exactly three weeks today that the Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones (TSE) suspend the count of the February 5 elections, ordering a manual count of all votes.

Oscar Fonseca, president of the TSE, at the beginning said that the election results would be available by the end of the month. The manual vote count ended last Wednesday, however, the TSE has yet to "officially" name a winner, preferring to side with caution as it deals with the hundreds of complaints.

An official proclamation may come as early as next week.
