...victory by the ultrarightist D'Aubuisson would undoubtedly lead Congress to cut off U.S. military support for El Salvador, but his chances seemed to be diminishing. When Francisco José Guerrero, who won 19.3% in the March 25 election, refused to throw his support to D'Aubuisson, Christian Democratic pollsters began to predict that Duarte could win as much as 60% of the runoff vote. Duarte appeared to gain a tactical advantage last week when El Salvador's provisional President, Alvaro Magaña, vetoed an ARENA-sponsored proposal for changing the May 6 voting procedure...
...explain why so many Salvadorans would go so far and wait so long to vote when simple excuses--guerilla intimidation or bureaucratice confusion--could always explain an abstention. And most importantly, the voters had a clear choice: they could pick either the murderous reactionary D'Abuisson or the conservative Guerrero and moderate Duarte...
...Napoleón Duarte, 58, of the center-left Christian Democrats (P.D.C.) and Roberto d'Aubuisson, 40, leader of the ultrarightist Republican Nationalist Alliance, known as ARENA.

...polls are any indication, Salvadorans instead appear to lean towards moderate Jose Napoleon Duarte of the Christian Democrats, who, from 1980-82, led the junta that succeeded decades of military rule. Although once considered a viable dark horse, National Conciliation Party candidate Francisco Jose Guerrero now ranks third behind Duarte and d'Aubuisson. Since it is unlikely' that any one contestant will win a clear-cut majority, there will most likely be a May run-off between the top two contenders...
...Guerrero's chances of winning an outright majority are virtually nil. In the 1982 Constituent Assembly elections, the P.C.N. took only 18.6% of the vote, vs. 40.7% for the Christian Democrats and 29.1 % for ARENA. But it seems unlikely that D'Aubuisson or Duarte will be capable of winning a majority either, which means that complex political maneuvering may be involved in choosing the new chief of state. The wheeling and dealing have already begun. Two conservative splinter parties announced last week that they had held talks on joining ranks with ARENA, and Guerrero has been carrying...
