Despite ideological affinity, the right-wing parties were unable to decide on an alliance candidate until the week of the poll.[5] However, the National Unity Front and Pact of Social Integration unified on December 13 behind the candidacy of Moisés Torres Ramírez, bringing the number of right-leaning candidates down by one.[6]
Results
