Yamandu Orsi wins Uruguay’s run-off presidential election

Yamandu Orsi, the left-wing Broad Front coalition candidate, is projected to emerge victorious in Uruguay’s run-off election for the presidency. He bested Alvaro Delgado of the ruling National Party to win the tightly fought race, though public opinion polls showed the two candidates in a dead heat in the lead-up to Sunday’s vote. Orsi’s supporters took to the streets in the capital of Montevideo, as the official results started to show the former mayor and history teacher surging ahead. Many waved the party banner: a red, blue and white striped flag with the initials FA for “Frente Amplio”, which translates to “Broad Front”. Al Jazeera’s Teresa Bo reports from Montevideo.
