Political parties in Uruguay are preparing for campaign closures this Wednesday, before the electoral ban comes into force on Friday. With the runoff scheduled for Sunday, where voters will choose between presidential candidates Yamandú Orsi and Álvaro Delgado, the commands of the main parties are fine-tuning their final strategies.
It is the last act of both candidates prior to the elections next Sunday, being the second electoral round after the general elections of October 27 in which neither reached the necessary minimum of 50% + 1 vote to avoid the runoff.
Broad Front concludes its campaign in Las Piedras
The Frente Amplio, with Yamandú Orsi and his running mate Carolina Cosse, has chosen the city of Las Piedras, in the department of Canelones, for its closing ceremony. The activities will begin at 5:30 p.m., with a caravan leaving from the Legislative Palace in Montevideo, traveling through Agraciada, Garzón and César Mayo Gutiérrez. This mobilization will culminate in the city of Las Piedras, where the main event will take place starting at 7:00 p.m.
This event is part of a series of activities designed to consolidate support for Orsi, who has focused his campaign on inclusive development and social justice policies. The choice of Las Piedras, an area of significant historical and political value, reflects a strategy to connect with the Canarian electorate, recognized for its diversity and dynamism.
The coalition convenes at the Obelisk
The Republican Coalition, made up of the National Party, the Colorado Party, the Independent Party, Cabildo Abierto, and the Constitutional and Environmentalist Party, plans to gather its followers at the emblematic Obelisk of Montevideo. The event is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. and will be attended by prominent political figures.
The candidate for vice president of the coalition, Valeria Ripoll, along with leaders such as Andrés Ojeda, Pablo Mieres, Guido Manini Ríos and Eduardo Lust, joins the event, which will culminate with a musical performance by the popular singer Lucas Sugo. This closure seeks to consolidate an image of unity and strength between the different groups of the bloc, emphasizing their proposals for stability and economic growth.
