In Uruguay, center-left opposition candidate Yamandú Orsi won a runoff presidential election Sunday, defeating Álvaro Delgado of the ruling center-right Partido Nacional. Orsi is a former mayor and history teacher with the Frente Amplio, or Broad Front party. He spoke from Montevideo after his victory.

President-elect Yamandú Orsi: “I am going to be the president who builds a more integrated society, a more integrated country, where, in addition, despite the differences, no one can ever be left behind from an economic, social and also political point of view.”
