Voter turnout was 79%.Nohlen, p157 Affected by a deep economic crisis and tensions with Somoza's Nicaragua due to Rodrigo Carazo's support of the FSLN, Carazo's government suffered from extremely low popularity. This naturally affected the Unity Coalition (Carazo's alliance) and its candidate Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier giving to PLN and its candidate, trade union leader and farmer Luis Alberto Monge, a landslide victory and the party's biggest parliamentary group in its history (33 deputies). Nevertheless, Unity remained as the second most voted force in the election as Calderón was able to attract the traditional and very loyal Calderonista vote.Lehoucq Fabrice The Politics of Modern Central America 27 August 2012 9780521515061 https://books.google.com/books?id=c_ESDXq_ibkC&q=rodrigo+carazo+1978+costa+rican+election&pg=PA61 16 August 2016 The crisis was also beneficial for the left as it achieved a historical high voting and four seats in Parliament (the biggest group since 1948) with Dr. Rodrigo Gutiérrez repeating his candidacy from United People. Another candidate was former president Mario Echandi by the conservative and anti-communist National Movement, but Echandi's candidacy was testimonial, receiving almost as many votes as Gutierrez (3% each), according to some due to his incapacity to understand modern times when personal wealth and family origin was not enough to win an election.White Stephen Webb Paul Party Politics in New Democracies 20 September 2007 Oxford University Press 9780199289653 https://books.google.com/books?id=-tYSDAAAQBAJ&q=unity+coalition+1978+costa+rican+election&pg=PA311 16 August 2016 Results President Luis Alberto Monge National Liberation Party 568374 Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier Unity Coalition 325187 Mario Echandi Jiménez National Movement (Costa Rica) es Movimiento Nacional (Costa Rica) National Movement 37127 Rodrigo Alberto Gutiérrez Sáenz es United People 32186 Edwin Chacón Madrigal Independent Party (Costa Rica) es Partido Independiente (Costa Rica) Independent Party 1955 Edwin Retana Chaves Democratic Party 1747 20241 4862 1261127 Election Resources By province Province Monge % Calderón % Echandi % Gutiérrez % Chacón % Retana % San José 58.4 32.5 5.3 3.5 0.2 0.1 Alajuela 59.5 35.5 2.8 2.0 0.2 0.2 Cartago 61.9 32.8 2.7 2.1 0.3 0.2 Heredia 57.0 36.3 2.6 3.7 0.1 0.2 Puntarenas 58.3 32.8 3.3 5.0 0.3 0.3 Limón 53.9 33.8 3.6 7.8 0.6 0.4 Guanacaste 60.7 34.6 2.4 1.8 0.2 0.2 Total 58.8 33.6 3.8 3.3 0.2 0.2 Legislative Assembly File:Costa Rica Legislative Assembly 1982.svg National Liberation Party 527231 33 +8 Unity Coalition 277998 18 –9 United People 61465 4 +1 National Movement (Costa Rica) es Movimiento Nacional (Costa Rica) National Movement 34437 1 New Alajuelense Democratic Action 12486 1 New National Democratic Party 11575 0 New Cartago Agrarian Union Party 7235 0 –1 Costa Rican Concord Party 5014 0 0 Independent Party (Costa Rica) es Partido Independiente (Costa Rica) Independent Party 4671 0 0 Authentic Limonense Party 3893 0 0 Peoples' Action Party 3546 0 New crimson Democratic Party 2672 0 0 Cartago Parliamentary Union Party 1047 0 New #CCDBFF Authentic Puntarenense Party 1036 0 0 Worker-Peasant Party 976 0 New National Liberal Progressive Republican Party 708 0 New #BA151B 24560 11016 0 1261127 Election Resources By province Province PLN CU PU MN PND PI PD Others % S % S % S % S % S % S % S % S San José 55.112 28.56 7.22 4.71 1.50 0.40 0.30 2.30 Alajuela 55.56 30.13 3.30 2.40 0.70 0.40 0.20 7.41 Cartago 57.24 25.52 3.80 2.20 0.60 1.20 0.30 9.20 Heredia 54.03 32.42 8.30 3.50 1.10 0.40 0.20 -- Puntarenas 55.73 28.62 8.61 3.20 2.00 0.30 0.40 1.20 Limón 43.52 27.01 14.21 3.40 1.80 1.40 0.40 8.40 Guanacaste 59.43 32.82 3.90 3.10 0.60 -- 0.2- -- Total 55.233 29.118 6.44 3.61 1.20 0.50 0.30 3.70 Local governments Alderpeople +/– Municipalsyndics +/– National Liberation Party 535478 299 +86 403 +226 Unity Coalition 287825 164 –66 11 –217 United People 59161 21 –2 0 0 National Movement (Costa Rica) es Movimiento Nacional (Costa Rica) National Movement 40079 4 New 0 New National Democratic Party 9455 2 New 0 New Alajuelense Democratic Action 9359 2 New 0 New Peoples' Action Party 4762 0 New 0 New crimson Independent Party (Costa Rica) es Partido Independiente (Costa Rica) Independent Party 3514 0 –1 0 –1 General Union Party es Partido Unión Generaleña 1852 1 New 0 New Authentic Limonense Party 1763 1 0 0 0 Worker-Peasant Party 1463 1 0 0 0 New Alajuelita Party 1073 1 New 0 New yellow Authentic Puntarenense Party 722 0 –1 0 0 Cartago Agrarian Union Party 695 0 New 0 New Democratic Party 475 0 0 0 0 +19 +8 33869 1269676 TSEhttp://atlaselectoral.tse.go.cr/regiduria/1982/area Elecciones Regidurías 1982 Spanish tse.go.cr Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones 21 May 2020 References Costa General Category:Parliamentary elections in Costa Rica Category:Presidential elections in Costa Rica
