Moreover, just as Ralph Nader’s candidacy (and the US Supreme Court) prevented Al Gore from defeating George W. Bush in 2000, one must recognize that Okonjo-Iweala was undercut by the candidacy of José Antonio Ocampo, a former finance minister of Colombia, who was backed by Brazil. His candidacy made Okonjo-Iweala look like a regional “African candidate,” while Ocampo was the “Latin American” candidate.
此外，正如拉尔夫·纳德（Ralph Nader）的参选（以及美国最高法院）阻止了阿尔·戈尔在2000年大选中击败小布什那样，我们也必须承认奥孔乔-伊韦拉也被哥伦比亚前财政部长何塞·安东尼奥·奥坎普（José Antonio Ocampo）的参选所削弱了（此人的背后支持者是巴西）。他的参选使奥孔乔-伊韦拉看上去像一个只为某区域服务的“非洲候选人”，而奥坎普本人则被视为“拉美”候选人。
