Uruguayans decide today at the polls

Montevideo, Oct 27 (Prensa Latina) Uruguayans go to the polls today to decide on the presidency of the Republic, the composition of Parliament and two constitutional plebiscites.

It will be a day that will put an end to the uncertainty that weighs on the majority of the results of several pollsters, despite the indicated favoritism of the candidate of the opposition Frente Amplio (FA), Yamandú Orsi.

The figures indicate that Orsi should win without any discussion the first round scheduled for today, but at prior, it seems difficult for him to obtain more than 50 percent of the votes to be proclaimed as the new head of state.

His closest competitor is the standard bearer of the ruling National Party, Alvaro Delgado, who hopes to reach the ballot, on November 24, at the head of the new Republican Coalition, currently in government.

This alliance is formed by the PN, the Colorado Party, Cabildo Abierto and the Independent Party, whose combined voting intentions indicate that the election of the next president will have to wait until November.

Another issue under discussion will be the parliamentary majority, currently in the hands of the government coalition.

The FA is confident of changing the board in Parliament, that is, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, but it will have to wait for the Electoral Court data at the end of the day.
