The different leaderships of the political parties that make up the Republican Coalition will accompany Alvaro Delgado and his running mate, Valeria Ripoll, at its headquarters awaiting the results of the 2024 runoff.
Andrés Ojeda, the former presidential candidate Colorado Party (PC)will arrive at the headquarters on Boulevard Artigas and Chaná – the same one used Luis Lacalle Pou in 2019 – around 6:30 p.m., with one hour left on election day, they confirmed Scope from the senator-elect’s team.
It is expected that they will also arrive at that time Pablo Mieres, former Minister of Labor and Social Security and leader of the Independent Party (PI); Guido Manini Ríos (Open Town Hall) and Eduardo Lust (Constitutional Environmentalist Party).
The strategy is to seal the image of unity that Slim took as his flag the night of October 27, when he unexpectedly decided to give his passage speech to the runoff on the stage set up in Varela Square and surrounded by the coalitionist rivals whom he had just defeated.
The construction of Slim as a candidate for the Republican Coalition was key in the runoff campaign, with special emphasis on achieving a crystal-clear transfer of the votes that Ojeda received in the first round due to the fear that many of his voters – not identified as Colorado – would move to Yamandu Orsi this Sunday.
The Colorado was taking an increasingly leading role as the campaign progressed until reaching the penultimate spot where, in an unprecedented event, a former presidential candidate shared the screen with whoever beat him and to ask for their vote.
“We always said it, in November, back to back,” he begins speaking Ojeda in the spot, in reference to a phrase that he repeated on several occasions before the general elections.
The rest of the coalition leaders participated with more or less enthusiasm in the strategy of showing that unity as a tool to defeat the Broad Front.
Manini Ríos had a disparate presence and went so far as to say publicly that the life of the Coalition is conditioned on Slim triumph in the elections. Mieres, meanwhile, continued to nurture the good relationship with the PN that characterized his first coalitionist stage in the current government.
On Saturday, with the electoral cards already played, the white campaign proposed a last staging of unity before more than 2,700,000 Uruguayans went to the polls. It was in Plaza Varela again, in a salute to the militancy, in which not all the leaders gave the present.
Tonight the unit image becomes vitally important in either of the two possible resolutions. Yeah Slim loses, it will be time to assume defeat collectively since the defeated will be the representative of all those forces. If, on the other hand, the pollsters’ forecast is distorted, there will be a photo of triumphant joy that will give way, almost immediately, to new and complex power negotiations.
