Its presidential candidate, Salvador Sanchez Ceren, won nearly 49 percent of the votes, while the conservative Norman Quijano (ARENA) fell behind with 38 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>Salvadoran laws state that more than 50 percent is required plus one of the votes to avoid a runoff. This way, Sanchez Ceren will have to conquer one more point in the second round to become the President of El Salvador. The candidate has been a former guerrilla who, under the name of \u201cCommander Leonel Gonz\u00e1lez,\u201d signed the peace accords of 1992.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>COSTA RICA TO HOLD SECOND ROUND OF ELECTIONS<br \/>\nThe Presidential elections of Feb. 2 determined that the presidential succession will take place between Luis Guillermo Sol\u00eds (candidate of the Citizen\u2019s Action Party), who won 31 percent of the votes, and Johnny Araya (National Liberation Party), who followed him closely with almost 30 percent of the votes. Out of race was Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Villalta Florez \u2014close to Chavez and the Sandinistas\u2014 who received a 17 percent of the votes.<\/p>\n<p>The Second round of elections will be held on April 6. In this new phase, Sol\u00eds called for the dialogue across the country: \u201cIn the next two months, we are obliged to establish a dialogue with political movements, organizations, personalities and political parties,\u201d he said. Meanwhile, the PLN admitted that the society is looking for a change and that they are hoping to attain presidency. \u201cThe people have defined the change and a mature party like ours must be able to read this,\u201d said Walter Coto, a representative of Araya.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23709\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23709\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Latin-American-briefs_02_Nicaragua_web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23709\" alt=\"Mural de Daniel Ortega en Nicaragua.
