Polling conducted by Real Time Big Data places candidates Elmano and Ciro in a statistical tie across both the first round and a potential runoff, a mirror image that reflects not indecision but genuine competition. Such parity reminds us that democratic outcomes are never foreordained — they are earned in the space between now and election day.
