PAC Party
Makes Political History Tomorrow
Tomorrow, Sunday, May 31, will be a historic
day in the politics of Costa Rica, when the
Partido Acción Ciudadana (PAC), created in
2000, will hold its first open convention to
choose their candidate for the 2010
presidential elections.
Ottón Solís, the founder of the party and
candidate in the last two presidential
elections, will square off against Epsy
Campbell and Román Macaya.
All three candidates are confident that they
will win the nomination vote and have a full
agenda today leading up to the opening of
the voting tomorrow morning.
Solís, who came within a small margin of
votes against Oscar Arias in 2006, agreeing
to opening the election of the party
leadership to a public vote, feels he has
more to offer the party and Costa Ricans
that the other contenders.
Epsy will wake up tomorrow morning in her
native town of Limón, where she feels she
has the greatest support for her candidacy.
He will later in the day return to San Jose
for the closing of voting.
Román Macaya, the long shot, is expected to
be on the campaign trail all day, seeking
out votes.
The 411 voting booths open at 8am and close
at 4pm. Results of the vote are expected to
be announced by 6pm, after being counted and
scrutinized by an internal party elections
board.
Some 100.000 people are expected to take
part in the party's first public convention. |
