The latest election polls show a loss of support for the ruling party’s candidate, Rixi Moncada, of the LIBRE party, compared to the main opposition candidates. The results mark a decline in public support for the ruling party and a rise in support for its political rivals in different sectors of the country.
Official statements and interpretation of the data
According to political analysts, Moncada’s decline is linked to public dissatisfaction with LIBRE’s performance. The economic crisis, allegations of corruption, and questions about transparency in previous processes have weakened confidence in the ruling party.
These trends present the ruling party with the challenge of maintaining its electoral base and repositioning its strategy in a context marked by social disenchantment.
Responses from the opposition and political stance
Opposition parties have succeeded in crafting speeches that resonate with the primary worries of the people. Issues such as safety, economic resurgence, and combating drug trafficking have become the central elements of their plans, enhancing their influence in both cities and rural regions.
The opposition’s progress reflects a shift in citizens’ priorities and in the way voters evaluate the political options available to address the country’s problems.
Political landscape and organizational frictions
Although there are still months to go before the elections, the available data point to a close contest. The weakening of the ruling party and the rise of the opposition reflect a polarized landscape that is testing institutional stability.
The course of the campaign will depend on the ability of political actors to respond to citizens’ demands and on how the electoral competition unfolds in a context of accumulated mistrust toward institutions.
