MONTEVIDEO—Opposition candidate Yamandu Orsi secured victory in Uruguay’s presidential election, official results showed on Sunday, with 99 percent of votes tallied, in a second-round race that pollsters expected to be closely fought.
Yamandu Orsi, the pre-election favorite by a few points, secured a small but comfortable margin of 49.81 percent of the vote to conservative Alvaro Delgado’s 45.90 percent, official results showed.
