Uruguay Electoral Court to recount votes after centre-right presidential candidate Luis Lacalle Pou appeared to have beaten leftist rival Daniel Martinez by about 30,000 votes with 35,000 ballots in dispute
Supporters of opposition presidential candidate Luis Lacalle Pou react at the party's headquarter as they wait for results after a run-off election in Montevideo, Uruguay. November 24, 2019.
The court said the number of provisional or contested ballots —around 35,000 — exceeded the margin between the two candidates. "They tried to bury us, but what the didn't know is that we are seeds," Martinez told his supporters. A win for the right would "reflect a trend in the region of voters rejecting the incumbent party over disappointing results," said Robert Wood, Latin America specialist with the Economist Intelligence Unit.With bright and sunny weather, more than 70 per cent of the country's 2.6 million eligible voters had cast ballots three hours before the polls were due to close at 2230 GMT , the electoral authority said.
