Paraguayans have voted on Sunday in what could be the biggest electoral challenge to the ruling conservative, Colorado Party, in over a decade and with the country’s long ties with Taiwan potentially at stake.
Polling stations opened at 11p.m in what was expected to be a close contest between Colorado Party presidential candidate, Santiago Pena and Efrain Alegre, leading a broad centre-left coalition,with promises of a foreign policy shake-up.
In addition to the single-round winner-take-all presidential race, voters also elected members of Congress and governors in the country of fewer than seven million people.
