Costa Rica's PLN announces candidates for party leadership

Candidates have emerged for the leadership positions of Costa Rica’s National Liberation Party (PLN). Former deputy Rolando González has announced his candidacy for the presidency of the party, aiming to strengthen the political group ahead of future elections. González stated his intention follows consultations with family, friends, and national political figures.

For the position of General Secretary, Alexandra Blanco will challenge the incumbent, Miguel Guillén. Blanco, a former mayoral candidate for Mora and former operational manager for Álvaro Ramos’s presidential campaign, seeks to transform the party’s internal structure and increase connection with local territories and bases. Guillén has expressed his intention to seek reelection for another four-year term.

The new leadership structure is expected to be determined on October 10 during the party’s National Assembly.
