The Partido Reformista Social Cristiano was the last party to register its presidential and vice presidential candidate for the forthcoming election. The PRSC registered Jacinto Peynado as its presidential and María Isabel Gassó Diez as its the vice presidential candidates. The Partido Liberal (La Estructura) and the Partido Demócrata Popular are allied with the PRSC, and their candidates are thus the same as the PRSC.
Of the 19 parties recognized officially by the Junta Central Electoral, only the Fuerza Nacional Progresista (FNP) presided over by Dr Marino Vinicio Castillo has not presented candidates for the 16 of May election. The Electoral Law requires that the parties register their candidates at least 60 days before polling day.
