Former presidential candidate Álvaro Ramos has announced he will challenge the current leadership of the National Liberation Party (PLN) by presenting candidates for all seven positions within the Superior Executive Committee. This move signals a rejection of the continued leadership of Ricardo Sancho and Miguel Guillén, currently at the PLN’s helm. The new candidates will be proposed for election by the National Assembly in October. Ramos’s decision indicates a desire for a significant change in direction for the traditionally powerful political party. This challenge sets the stage for a potentially contentious internal election within the PLN. The outcome will likely shape the party’s strategy moving forward and its position in Costa Rican politics. It remains to be seen how the current leadership will respond to this overt challenge to their authority.
