Costa Rica: Virtual Technical Tie between Presidential Candidates Prensa Latina

San Jose, Costa Rica, Dec 11 (Prensa Latina) Ruling party presidential candidate Johnny Araya fell in the polls and the left wing, led by Jose Maria Villalta, went up and reached a virtual technical tie, according to a survey published Wednesday in Costa Rica.

The survey, by the Political Studies and Investigation Center of the Univeristy of Costa Rica (CIEP) said that for the Feb. 2 election, Araya, a candidate for the National Liberation Party, was leadin in voter intentions with 17.4 percent, but the Frente Amplio candidate, Jose Maria Villalta, was right behind him, with 15.7 percent.

The margin of error is 3.89 percent, said CIEP, and as no one can show who will statiscally make a difference, a technical tie was declared.

The survey was conducted from November 11 to 29, and confirms a previous study, putting Otto Guevara, a candidate for the Movimiento Libertario, in third place with 10.4 percent of voter intention, and Luis Guillermo Solis (Accion Cuidadana, 5.1 percent) in fourth, while Social Christian Union Party (PUSC) candidate Rodolfo Piza was in fifth (3.1 percent).
