Jose Raul Mulino has been elected as the new president of Panama, securing a victory with a simple majority of 34% of the votes, leading his closest competitor by 9%. Mulino, a rightwing former public security minister and a late entry in the race, was the stand-in for the disqualified former President Ricardo Martinelli. Martinelli, convicted of money laundering and currently residing in Nicaragua's embassy, significantly influenced the election. Mulino's campaign promises included reviving Panama's economy and shutting down key migration routes to the U.S., which are used by over half a million migrants annually.
