If the presidential elections in Panama were the intention to vote today, it would place former president Ricardo Martinelli, of the Realizando Metas Party, in first place with 36% followed by former president Martín Torrijos of the Popular Party with 19%.
These figures according to the political communication and consulting magazine Campaign Elections Research, a company not registered with the Electoral Tribunal, but which still published this confrontation on the elections and the country’s main problems on its website.
The survey also presented the scenario in which former president Ricardo Martinelli does not participate in the elections, in that eventuality former president Torrijos would lead the race with 26%, followed by Democratic Change candidate Rómulo Roux with 22%.
The candidate of the ruling Democratic Revolutionary Party, José Gabriel Carrizo, without the participation of Martinelli, is in third place with 16% of the votes; while if the RM candidate participates, Carrizo would be in fourth place with 12%.
In fifth place is the candidate of the Otro Camino Movement, Ricardo Lombana and in last place Campaign Elections research locates the leader of the Panameñista party José Isabel Blandón, who barely scored 8%.
