country. around the town, like i said, no election campaigning, but it is important to note that one of the leading candidates here in the polls canceled a last-minute rally. we do not know if that is because he feels confident about winning the vote. there is a question about if he can win the vote in the first round, if not he will be in the second round, and i will -- and that will complicate matters. >> would you say he is not the clear front runner because a couple of days he was ago -- a couple of days ago he was declared the front runner? >> he is the front-runner in the polls at this point in time, but he has to clear the 50% hurdle to avoid a runoff, and many observers believe now that this trend may have shifted in the last few days and he may not get that 50%, which means we have to go through this all over again mentioned, howu
