Overview

Most of these mational level parties have no significant following.  The February 2002 parliamentary elections gave seats in the Legislative Assembly to only five of the fifty parties: 
- Unidad Social Cristiana (Social Christian Unity Party (PUSC)) - 19
- Partido Liberación Nacional (National Liberation Party (PLN)) - 17
- Partido Acción Ciudadana (Citizens Action Party (PAC)) - 14
- Partido Movimiento Libertario (Libertarian Movement Party (PML)) - 6
- Partido Renovación Costarricense (Costa Rica Renovation Party (PRC)) - 1
The presidential run-off election in April 2002 was won by the PUSC candidate with 58% to the PLN's 42%.
