1978 — Costa Rican general election, 1978
General elections were held in Costa Rica on February 5, 1978. Rodrigo Carazo Odio of the Unity Coalition won the presidential election, whilst his party also won the parliamentary election. Voter turnout was 81%. Carazo, former Congressman and former member of National Liberation Party (probably Costa Rica’s main political force) left the party several years before and created his own: Democratic Renovation, but a deeply split opposition on the 1974 election caused PLN’s easy victory. With that in mind, main leaders of the non-Marxist opposition started talks in order to present a unified candidature.
