A closely contested election could force a decisive second vote if no candidate secures an outright majority, with a run-off scheduled to determine the winner. The outcome hinges on whether any contender crosses the 50% threshold in the initial round, leaving voters to weigh their options if the race remains unresolved. With stakes high, the process underscores the potential for a prolonged campaign to resolve the uncertainty. The run-off would serve as a final test of public support, ensuring a clear mandate for the next phase.
If no candidate gets more than 50% of the vote, the election will go to a run-off on 25 October.
