Ernesto Pérez Balladares stood as a candidate for the Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD), opposing Mireya Moscoso of the Arnulfista Party and the salsa singer Rubén Blades, who was then president of the party Papa Egoro. In the 1989 general election, Pérez Balladares had served as the campaign manager for Carlos Duque, the hand-picked candidate of military ruler Manuel Noriega, and his 1994 opponents sought to emphasize his connection with Noriega, broadcasting pictures of the two together.https://www.nytimes.com/1994/02/21/world/panama-journal-democracy-at-work-under-shadow-of-dictators.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm Panama Journal; Democracy at Work, Under Shadow of Dictators Howard W.

Instead, he worked to position himself as a successor to Torrijos, who was regarded as a national hero. The incumbent Arnulfista Party, meanwhile, was seen as hobbled by dissatisfaction with the perceived incompetence and corruption of Endara's government.http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-889827.html Panamanians Vote in Peace, Picking Ex-Aide of Noriega; Millionaire Perez Balladares Bests Widow of Four-Time President Douglas Farah May 9, 1994 The Washington Post March 29, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150329104016/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-889827.html HighBeam Research subscription usurped September 2, 2012 He ultimately won the election with 33% of the vote, with Moscoso receiving 29% and Blades receiving 17%.http://www.umsl.edu/services/govdocs/wofact98/193.htm Panama University of Missouri-Saint Louis October 23, 2012 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20121023195301/http://www.umsl.edu/services/govdocs/wofact98/193.htm September 2, 2012 The PRD "also achieved an effective majority in the new National Assembly.
