Background

Incumbent President Juan Carlos Varela was elected in 2014 with 39% of the vote. [7] Polls showed him to be the second most unpopular president in Latin America by 2018, with a 57% disapproval rating. [8]

Corruption became a major issue during the campaign, [9] being the first election held after the Panama Papers leak, which exposed the extent of the country's involvement in tax evasion. [10] Investigations into mass bribery by the Brazilian company Odebrecht also took place during the preceding presidential term, [11] with the presidential administrations of Martín Torrijos, Ricardo Martinelli, and Juan Carlos Varela all being subject to scrutiny. [12] Martinelli was also investigated for wiretapping political opponents, [13] which resulted in his being disqualified in his campaigns for Assembly deputy and Panama City mayor. [14]

Electoral system

The President was elected through plurality vote in one round.

Of the 71 members of the National Assembly, 26 were elected in single-member constituencies and 45 by proportional representation in multi-member constituencies. Each district with more than 40,000 inhabitants formed a constituency. Constituencies elected one MP for every 30,000 residents and an additional representative for every fraction over 10,000. [15]

In single-member constituencies, MPs were elected using the first-past-the-post system. In multi-member constituencies MPs were elected using party list proportional representation according to a double quotient; the first allocation of seats used a simple quotient, further seats were allotted using the quotient divided by two, with any remaining seats are awarded to the parties with the greatest remainder. [15]

Presidential candidates

The following seven candidates contested the election: [16]

Candidate selection

Democratic Revolutionary Party

Nito Cortizo won the PRD's presidential primary, held on 16 September 2023. He defeated Assembly member Zulay Rodríguez and former President Ernesto Pérez Balladares. [17] The Nationalist Republican Liberal Movement allied itself with the PRD. [18] [19] He selected José Gabriel Carrizo as his running mate. [20]

Panameñista Party

Panama City mayor José Blandón won the Panameñista primary, beating former Housing Minister Mario Etchelecu. [21] The People's Party allied itself with the Panameñista Party, [22] maintaining the alliance that had also been seen in the 2014 elections. [23] He selected Nilda Quijano as his running mate. [24]

Democratic Change

Rómulo Roux, a former Canal Minister and Foreign Minister, won the CD presidential primary, defeating José Raúl Mulino, [25] winning 68% to Mulino's 29%. [26] He chose reporter Luis Casis as his running mate. [27]

Alliance Party

The Alliance Party was a new political party led by Assembly member José Muñoz. José Domingo Arias, the losing CD presidential candidate in 2014, won its primary with over 90% of the vote. [28] The party later chose to ally itself with the CD candidacy of Rómulo Roux, [29] with Arias declining his presidential candidacy. [30]
