Costa Rica: Conservative Christian Candidate Leading in Presidential Election Polls
A conservative Christian congressman best known for his opposition to gay rights remains the favorite in Costa Rica's presidential election next month, according to a poll released Tuesday night.
Fabricio Alvarado, a 43-year-old ex-television host and the only lawmaker from the evangelical National Restoration party, led in several run-off scenarios in the Jan. 29-30 survey conducted by OPol Consultores.
The candidate even has a handful of Christian music albums to his name.
