Costa Rica's National Liberation Party (PLN) has taken a significant step towards the 2028 municipal elections by officially approving the formation of coalitions and alliances. This decision was made during the party's first National Assembly since the national elections held on February 1.
The assembly also saw the approval of statutory reforms designed to expedite internal processes. These reforms come in response to difficulties the PLN encountered in San Ramón and Puerto Jiménez during the renewal of its local structures. The party aims to avoid similar issues in the future and ensure smoother operations.
The move signals a strategic shift for the PLN as it prepares for the upcoming municipal contests. By embracing alliances, the party seeks to strengthen its position and potentially broaden its reach across different municipalities.
