- Abstract
After an eight-year term in which the Partido de Acción Ciudadana was in command of the Executive, the 2022 presidential elections in Costa Rica yielded a surprising result with the victory of Rodrigo Chaves and the Partido Progreso Social Democrático. These elections prolonged a period of reconfiguration of the party system that goes back to the beginning of this century. Despite the singularity of these elections, the foundations of governance did not change: they were free, transparent, and orderly elections, the results of which maintained the multiparty conformation of Congress and reduced legislative support for the new administration. The electoral contest occurred in a scenario of reduced electoral participation, high volatility, and high uncertainty.
