Tribunal Rules Out
Politicking For PLN
Candidates Until May
The magistrates of the
Tribunal Supremo de
Elecciones (TSE) -
elections tribunal - put
the hold on the
pre-election campaign of
those aspiring to lead
the Partido Liberación
Nacional (PLN) party
into the 2010
presidential elections.
The tribunal said that
the PLN and other
political parties cannot
commence their political
campaigns until May 31.
The notice was given to
the president of the PLN
party, Francisco Antonio
Pacheco, as aspirants to
the party leadership
began politicking this
week.
In the forefront is
former vice-president,
Laura Chinchilla, who is
battling out the party
leadership with San Jose
mayor, Johnny Araya and
former security minister
in the Arias
administration, Fernando
Berrocal and Carlos
Francisco Echeverría.
Araya announced earlier
this week that he is
taking a leave of
absence from his
mayorship to focus on
the campaign.
