The race pitted the governing party's Salvador Sánchez Cerén against the rightwing candidate Norman Quijano. Sánchez Cerén, a former rebel commander, was running to replace Mauricio Funes, marking the first time an FMLN candidate succeeds another after decades of rightwing governments. Sánchez Cerén was seen as the favorite coming in but the latest results show him ahead less than 1 percent.
