Uruguay returns to the left after moderate presidential campaign

Yamandu Orsi won the presidential election in Uruguay, defeating Alvaro Delgado. Orsi secured 784,523 votes with just over half the ballots counted. The center-left party released a statement saying "joy will return". Delgado, the presidential candidate of the center-right ruling coalition, conceded defeat, congratulating Orsi. Orsi, 57, a working-class former history teacher and two-time mayor, thanked his supporters.
