<h1>Runoff election pits hard-right front-runner against leftist representative, reshaping national security and migration policy debate.</h1> A presidential runoff will decide between a hard-right front-runner advocating stringent law-and-order measures and tight immigration controls, and a leftist government representative promoting social safety-net expansion and anti-money laundering and anti-drug-trafficking measures. Several right-leaning challengers have endorsed the hard-right candidate, improving his chances, while early parliamentary results signal a likely right-wing majority in the lower house that would enable conservative policy priorities and limit progressive reforms.
