"The general elections for president, vice president, senators, deputies and representatives... Will be held Sunday October 12 this year," the tribunal president, Wilma Velasco, told reporters at a press conference.
Velasco said a potential presidential runoff -- to be held if no one candidate obtains a majority of votes -- would be December 7.

Another top opposition candidate is the influential governor of the eastern region of Santa Cruz, Ruben Costas.
