根据初步结果，哥斯达黎加选民选举保守派民粹主义者劳拉·费尔南德斯（Laura Fernández）为下一任总统，使她成为拉丁美洲最新一位当选的右翼领导人。
最高选举法庭报告称，在96.8%的投票站计票完成后，主权人民党（Sovereign People’s Party）的费尔南德斯以48.3%的得票率获胜。
据美联社报道，她最接近的竞争对手、民族解放党的经济学家阿尔瓦罗·拉莫斯（Álvaro Ramos）以33.4%的得票率落后。
拉莫斯在选举夜承认失败，39岁的费尔南德斯将于5月开始她的四年任期。

作为前政府部长，费尔南德斯是即将卸任的总统罗德里戈·查韦斯（Rodrigo Chaves）的选定继任者，查韦斯因宪法规定无法寻求连任。
她竞选时承诺继续推进查韦斯的民粹主义议程，该议程通过反对传统政党并承诺对犯罪采取更严厉行动重塑了哥斯达黎加的政治格局。
费尔南德斯曾担任国家计划部长，后来担任总统部长，在查韦斯政府中发挥了核心作用。

在凶杀案、帮派活动和贩毒集团走私案件急剧增加的背景下，犯罪问题在哥斯达黎加的竞选活动中占据主导地位。
据报道，过去六年中谋杀率增加了50%。
费尔南德斯承诺采取强硬的安全战略，包括加强与美国缉毒局（DEA）的合作以及对有组织犯罪采取更严厉的措施。
她还提出了受萨尔瓦多总统纳伊布·布克莱（Nayib Bukele）启发的争议性提议。
据美联社报道，其中包括为帮派头目建造一座特殊监狱。

“在我们需要采取行动恢复哥斯达黎加家庭安全的决策中，我的手不会颤抖。”费尔南德斯在竞选期间表示。
美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥（Marco Rubio）周一在一份声明中向费尔南德斯表示祝贺。
“在她的领导下，我们有信心哥斯达黎加将继续推进共同优先事项，包括打击贩毒、阻止非法移民进入美国、促进网络安全和安全电信，并加强经济关系。”卢比奥说。

Costa Ricans have elected conservative populist Laura Fernández as their next president, according to preliminary results, making her the latest right-leaning leader to win office in Latin America.
With results from 96.8% of polling places counted, Fernández of the Sovereign People’s Party won 48.3% of the vote, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal reported.
Her closest challenger, economist Álvaro Ramos of the National Liberation Party, trailed with 33.4%, the Associated Press reported.
Ramos conceded the race on election night, with Fernández, 39, to begin her four-year term in May.

A former government minister, Fernández is the chosen successor of outgoing President Rodrigo Chaves, who is constitutionally prohibited from seeking re-election.
She campaigned on continuing Chaves’ populist agenda, which reshaped Costa Rican politics by arguing against traditional parties and promising tougher action on crime.
Fernández served as minister of national planning and later as minister of the presidency, giving her a central role in Chaves’ administration.

Crime had dominated the campaign in Costa Rica amid sharp rises in homicides, gang activity and drug trafficking by cartels.
The murder rate had increased by 50% over the last six years, according to reports.
Fernández pledged a hard-line security strategy, including increased cooperation with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and tougher measures against organized crime.
She has also floated controversial proposals inspired by El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele.
This included construction of a special prison for gang leaders, the Associated Press reported.

“My hand won’t shake when it comes to making the decisions we need to restore peace in Costa Rican homes,” Fernández said during the campaign.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio congratulated Fernández in a statement Monday.
“Under her leadership, we are confident Costa Rica will continue to advance shared priorities to include combating narco-trafficking, ending illegal immigration to the United States, promoting cybersecurity and secure telecommunications, and strengthening economic ties,” Rubio said.

“I believe the Costa Rican people expect nothing less of us,” she added.
