They were not all runner-ups, you're falling for misinformation bullshit (and stop upvoting misinformation, people!). The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.

Which is absolutely fucking horrifying in and of itself, don't get me wrong, but what you're saying is just not true.
