Costa Rican 2028 municipal election preparations

Overview

In preparation for the 2028 municipal elections in Costa Rica, major opposition parties, including the National Liberation Party (PLN) and the Social Christian Unity Party (PUSC), have authorized their executive committees to explore local alliances and coalitions. These strategic moves are intended to counter the ambitions of the Partido Pueblo Soberano (PPSO), which has expressed a goal of winning 70 mayoralties.

In response to the electoral landscape, the PPSO has formalized its own candidate selection process. Party president Mayuli Ortega confirmed that the PPSO has established ten specific requirements for its 2028 mayoral candidates. These criteria include maintaining valid party membership, meeting legal and constitutional qualifications, demonstrating ethical conduct, and completing basic training to ensure the party fields competitive and verifiable candidates.
