Uruguay Presidential Election Heads to Runoff Between Orsi and Delgado

Yamandú Orsi and Álvaro Delgado will face off in a runoff election after neither secured an outright majority in the first round.

• Yamandú Orsi of the Frente Amplio coalition received approximately 44% of the vote, falling short of the majority needed to win outright.
• Álvaro Delgado, representing the governing Partido Nacional, came in second with around 27% of the vote, leading to a runoff scheduled for November 24.
• Uruguayans rejected two proposed constitutional amendments, one aimed at increasing police powers and another targeting pension system reforms.
• The Frente Amplio secured a majority in the Senate, while the center-right coalition is projected to maintain control of the House of Representatives.
• The election reflects Uruguay's stable party system, contrasting with anti-systemic trends seen in other Latin American countries.
