Uruguayan Presidential Elections Set for 2024
Fronte Amplio Makes Strong Showing in Latest Opinion Poll
Former Governor Orsi Taps Cosse as Running Mate
As Uruguay prepares for its 2024 presidential elections, the latest opinion polls suggest a clear advantage for the Frente Amplio (FA) Broad Front coalition. Incumbent President Luis Lacalle Pou, who won the 2019 elections, cannot run again due to constitutional term limits. In the primary elections held on June 30, Yamandú Orsi, Álvaro Delgado, and Andrés Ojeda emerged victorious. Orsi, the former governor of Canelones, has since tapped his political rival, Carolina Cosse, as his running mate. The general elections for Uruguay will take place on October 27, 2024. The results of the primary elections have set the stage for a highly competitive race, with the FA looking to regain power after five years of center-right rule under Pou. The upcoming elections will be closely watched in the region and beyond, as they are expected to have significant implications for Uruguay's political and economic future.
