Uruguay’s Presidential Race Heats Up as Exit Polls Signal Tight Contest
Uruguay’s presidential election is headed for a dramatic showdown after exit polls revealed a neck-and-neck race between candidates. Center-left candidate Yamandú Orsi leads with 44% of the vote, according to Cifra’s exit poll, while conservative rival Álvaro Delgado trails at 27%. The nail-biter suggests a November 24 runoff is almost certain, as neither candidate is projected to hit the 50% needed to win outright. 🔥
Young conservative Andrés Ojeda, a social media star with 16% support, has vowed to back Delgado if eliminated, aiming to block the left’s return to power. Analysts say this alliance could reshape the final round’s dynamics. Stay tuned—this political rollercoaster is far from over! 🎢
