In a runoff election, Yamandu Orsi of the left-wing Broad Front party won the presidency of Uruguay, with 49.8% of the vote against incumbent Alvaro Delgado's 45.9%. This election reflects a growing anti-incumbent sentiment in the Americas, driven by voter concerns over inequality and rising crime. Orsi, set to take office on March 1, 2025, aims to promote a more integrated society and address economic issues, all while navigating challenges such as pension reforms and a tight legislative agenda.
