In the upcoming presidential elections in Uruguay, the candidate of the Broad Front, Yamandú Orsi, leads the polls with a significant advantage, but not enough to avoid a runoff. Orsi is a prominent member of the Popular Participation Movement and has served as the head of government of Canelones. His vice-presidential candidate is Carolina Cosse. The Broad Front is projected to receive about 45% of the votes.
On the other hand, the National Party finds itself in a complicated situation, with Álvaro Delgado as the candidate following the prohibition of direct re-election for President Luis Lacalle Pou. The party has seen its popularity decrease in recent months, dropping from 30% to 20% in the polls. A controversy surrounded former leader Pablo Iturralde, who had to resign due to alleged pressures on prosecutors in a corruption case.
The Colorado Party, for its part, has experienced growth in the polls with the presidential ticket of Andrés Ojeda and Robert Silva. Despite reaching 15% in the latest polls, they still trail behind the National Party. Some surveys place them at 20% of the votes, but so far they have not surpassed the whites.
