Center-left candidate Carlos Alvarado Quesada won 61 percent of the vote in Costa Rica’s second round presidential run-off vote on Sunday. With nearly 91 percent of polling stations counted, the result puts Alvarado far ahead of his ultraconservative rival Fabricio Alvarado Munoz. Who is Carlos Alvarado? Carlos supported the ruling, while Fabricio opposed it, with the latter Alvarado threatening to remove Costa Rica from the court.
