- The opposition candidate Yamandú Orsi reached 43.94% of the votes in the first round
The opposition Yamandú Orsi (Frente Amplio) and the ruling party Álvaro Delgado (National Party) became the two candidates with the most votes in Uruguay in the elections on Sunday, October 27 and will fight for the Presidency in a second round that will take place on November 24.
With 99.92% of the votes already counted by the Electoral Court (EC) of the South American country, the first of them obtained 1,057,515 of the 2,441,238 votes cast, although there are still 34,564 observed votes (cast by those who vote in a circuit different from the one to which they are assigned) that will be opened in the coming days.
For his part, Delgado achieved 644,147 endorsements on a day in which citizens also had to express themselves on two plebiscites that sought to reform the social security regime and authorize nighttime raids and that did not obtain the necessary votes to do so.
In the absence of the observed votes being counted, Orsi accumulates 43.94% of the votes cast. Meanwhile, the candidate for the ruling party adds 26.77%.
However, facing the second round and just as Luis Lacalle Pou did five years ago, Delgado will bet on a coalition government together with three political forces that already accompany the current one and with one that was created for these elections and who already gave him his support.
Within these, the Colorado Party obtained 385,685 votes (16.03%), Cabildo Abierto 59,000 (2.45%), the Independent Party 41,206 (1.71%) and the new Constitutional Environmentalist Party 11,691 (0.49%). .
According to this, the political forces of the coalition currently accumulate 1,141,729 votes and surpass the Frente Amplio by 84,214.
More data left by the election in Uruguay
The Sovereign Identity party became one of the big surprises of the elections on Sunday, October 27, obtaining 64,735 votes (2.69%) and becoming the fourth most voted in the presidential and parliamentary elections. This figure would allow it to be present in the Chamber of Deputies with two representatives.
Another data from election day is that 64,807 people (2.69%) voted blank. Of these, 33,682 did not cast ballots for any party but did express themselves in favor of one or both plebiscites.
Likewise, 57,791 citizens (2.4%) chose to cancel their vote on a day in which this was mandatory and when participation was close to 90%.
As for the two plebiscites by which voters had to express themselves, both fell far short of exceeding the 50% of the votes necessary to be effective.
The one proposed by the PIT-CNT union center to reform the social security regime got 934,115 votes (38.81%) and the one proposed by legislators of the Government coalition to authorize night raids got 947,042 (39.35%).
