The elected president of Costa Rica Rodrigo Chaves, of the young Democratic Social Progress Party, affirmed that he receives the results of this Sunday’s elections with humility and with an “enormous responsibility full of challenges and difficulties that all of us are going to solve.”
The economist and former official of the World Bank (WB), winner with 52.9% of the votes against 47.1% of his rival, former president (1994-1998) Jose María Figueres, thanked the Costa Rican people for “having come to a democratic day that makes us shine before the world, we are one of the best democracies in the world”.
