Edgar Acosta questioned a possible presidential bid by Ricardo Estigarribia for 2028
The former Liberal deputy said the governor of Central has no electoral viability for the next presidential election. He also said that, despite his political weight, he does not meet the conditions to lead a ticket.
Former deputy of the Authentic Radical Liberal Party Edgar Acosta said that Ricardo Estigarribia has no electoral chances ahead of the 2028 presidential election, according to La Nación Paraguay.
According to that outlet, Acosta said in an interview with 1020 AM that the current governor of Central is an important actor within the political landscape, but he considered that he does not meet the requirements to lead a presidential ticket.
Still according to La Nación Paraguay, the former lawmaker said he bases that assessment on measurements and analyses that, he said, also are carried out by business and financial sectors. In that context, he stressed that the low level of public recognition would be an obstacle for a candidacy.
Acosta also added that Estigarribia should clear up questions about his integrity and said that, in a candidate, he expects debating ability and intellectual solidity, the same outlet reported.
