HAVANA (Reuters) - The chances for a "stable and lasting peace" have never been better, Colombian rebels said before peace talks on Wednesday in the latest sign that President Juan Manuel Santos could receive a boost from the negotiations ahead of the May 25 election.

Santos, engaged in a tightening re-election campaign, might benefit from any breakthrough between now and the first round of presidential elections, in which his leading rival has threatened to break off peace talks.
