The elections were held next to the presidential, legislative, municipal and Central American Parliament elections. Twenty candidates were presented.[1][2]
The previous mayor, Luis Grijalva Minera, did not run for re-election due to possible cases of corruption, as well as ideological discrepancies with the party that postulated him.[3]
