Panamanians to choose between six mostly business-friendly candidates to lead this Central American trade and financial hub for the next five years in a presidential election focusing on corruption and slowing economic growth.
FILE - In this April 29, 2019 file photo, Electoral Council representatives arrive at the Electoral Tribunal after a ceremony where the National Police and national security departments recognized the authority of the Electoral Council as head of security ahead of the upcoming general elections in Panama City. Panamanians will elect a new president on Sunday, May 5.
Despite the scandal, Panama remains a strategic location for commerce, anchored by the heavily trafficked Panama Canal shipping route and a recently expanded international airport. Roux has highlighted during his campaign that Panama’s economy grew only 3.8% last year, versus a 10.7% expansion in 2012, when Martinelli was president.
Panamanian voters are also concerned about rising unemployment, public schools in decline, unreliable water service and insufficient garbage collection in the capital.
