Yamandu Orsi, the center-left opposition candidate, won Uruguay’s presidential election on Sunday, securing 49.81% of the vote with 99% of ballots counted. His conservative rival, Alvaro Delgado, garnered 45.90%.
Orsi, addressing thousands of supporters in Montevideo, expressed optimism for the future and vowed to foster national dialogue. "The country of freedom, equality, and fraternity triumphs once again," he said, emphasizing his commitment to continued progress. He outlined plans to boost investment, avoid tax increases, and strengthen the country’s fight against drug trafficking in collaboration with Europe.
In a sign of political harmony, both Delgado and outgoing President Luis Lacalle Pou, members of the National Party, swiftly congratulated Orsi and offered assistance in facilitating a smooth transition. The election, marked by cooperation between rivals, reflects Uruguay’s continued political stability amidst a turbulent global landscape.
