The first-round election results saw center-left candidate Yamandu Orsi leading with over a million votes against conservative Alvaro Delgado, who garnered 644,147 votes.
Voters rejected a controversial pension reform plan that aimed to lower the retirement age and increase payouts, reflecting concerns over Uruguay's $22.5 billion private pension system.
Yamandu Orsi's supporters expressed confidence that his leadership could bring forth progressive economic growth and better wealth distribution in Uruguay's upcoming runoff election.
Both candidates, Orsi and Delgado, recognized the significance of the upcoming runoff, with Orsi referring to his energizing support and Delgado emphasizing a clear binary choice.
