His lone rival, Johnny Araya, dropped out last month after polls showed he would be soundly defeated, giving Solis a glide path to the presidency in this country of some five million people. Making his way through the crowd while delivering hugs, kisses and taking photos with followers' cell phones, Solis cast his ballot just after 11 am (1700 GMT) at a school in eastern San Jose. After voting, he urged people to turn out to the polls despite the cool weather in most of the Central American country.
