Horacio Cartes has won Paraguay’s presidential election, returning
his center-right party to power for the first time in five
years.Sunday’s election was virtually a battle between Cartes of the
opposition Colorado Party and former senator Efrain Alegre of the ruling
Liberal Party. Nine other candidates also ran.
Paraguay’s electoral committee says with most votes counted, Cartes
won 46 percent of the vote, with a 9 percentage point lead over
Alegre.The Colorado Party’s 60-year reign was interrupted by the
previous presidential election in 2008.
