With only a few weeks left until the general elections in the country on May the 5th, the metropolitan archbishop of Panama, José Domingo Ulloa, encouraged citizens not to be “deceived” by the false promises of some candidates.  “Analyze their proposals, the life path of the candidate and examine the differences between each presidential candidate.” said Ulloa in his Sunday message March 10th.  Ulloa also urged Panamanians not to be impressed by advertising campaigns and don't trust campaign promises. The Catholic Church does not recommend any candidate and only seeks to educate each of its congregation members to make the best decisions, for the good of the country.  A total of 3,004,083 citizens will be eligible to vote in the general election on Sunday, May 5th 2024 in which 1,511,049 (50.3%) are women and 1,493,034 (49.7%) are men, according to statistics provided by the Electoral Tribunal of Panama.
