Reuters reports on the upcoming election year in Panama.<\/p>\n

Panama will hold its next general election on May 5, 2019, the country\u2019s election tribunal announced on Saturday, with voters set to choose a new president, lawmakers and mayors to lead the Central American country for a five-year term.<\/p>\n

Roughly 2.7 million Panamanian voters in May next year will elect a replacement for current President Juan Carlos Varela, who is barred from re-election.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On Saturday, the president announced a plan to kick-start a series of popular consultations on constitutional changes ahead of next year\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n

Among the changes, announced at the election tribunal event, Varela said he hopes to forge a constitutional assembly that would be elected in the general election, without giving any further details.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Varela\u2019s critics said the unusual move was \u201cirresponsible\u201d just one year before the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis adds uncertainty to the electoral process,\u201d said Romulo Roux, president of the Democratic Change party. \u201cIt\u2019s a political measure for (Varela) to maintain his power after 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The election tribunal said $55.9 million would be destined for the elections, the sixth such vote since Panama\u2019s dictatorship ended.<\/p>\n\n
