Uruguay held primary elections on June 30, 2024, with significant gains reported for the opposition left, led by the Frente Amplio (FA) coalition. Yamandú Orsi, a prominent figure within the FA and former mayor of Canelones, is seen as the favorite to challenge the governing National Party's Álvaro Delgado, former chief of Cabinet to President Luis Lacalle Pou. These primaries are crucial as they set the stage for the presidential and congressional elections in October. Rising crime and corruption scandals under the current administration have boosted support for the FA, positioning them strongly against the center-right Coalición Republicana.
