Campaign

The election campaign was largely controlled by the PLN, who focussed on the President and his popularity. Whereas the conservatives, and also ¡Adelante!, tried to find a more rural electorate, the PdlI chose to actively oppose the government. This lead to the election campaign being largely a two-way fight between the nationalists and the socialists.

The PLN campaign focussed on the person of Castrigo, who is widely popular among the Liberadosan population.

The Partido de la Izquierda was the strongest oposition force against the incumbent government.
