After receiving the support of Mario Bergara, who left his campaign last month, Orsi once again clearly positioned himself within the internal elections of the Frente Amplio.
According to a survey by Equipos Consultores, Orsi has 53% of voting intention in the guided question modality, against 37% of its main internal rival, Carolina Cosse. This data contrasts strongly with the February scenario, where the internal Frente Amplista declared itself in a virtual technical tie, with the referent of the MPP accumulating 45% of the adhesions and its main contender only one point.
