On 24 November 2024 Yamandú Orsi of Frente Amplio won Uruguay’s presidential runoff against Álvaro Delgado of the Coalición Multicolor, after a 27 October first round. Reuters recorded the same-week result.
Context
Luis Lacalle Pou was completing his term and could not run. Delgado remains unresolved. Orsi did not sit as every precinct printer.
27 October first round is parent. 1 March 2025 oath is a child. Keep Orsi wins the 24 November 2024 presidential runoff against Álvaro Delgado on 2024-11-24 separate from neighbouring 24 November 2024 runoff, 1 March 2025 oath, 26 November 2025 Bukele remark, 26 March 2026 security plan, and 22 June 2026 army-patrol announcement.
The president of Uruguay is head of state and head of government. He can present a national security plan, order army support to police, and send bills. He does not sit as a Corte Electoral teller, a Senate interpellant, or a Salvadoran prison director.
Why it matters
The path is capacity for peaceful transfer: a completed competitive runoff that returned Frente Amplio.

What the sources establish
Corte Electoral of Uruguay carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.
Established: Orsi won the 24 November 2024 runoff against Delgado after a 27 October first round.
Not established: A unique later homicide coefficient from that Sunday, or that the runoff rebates June 2026 army patrols.
He was the FA candidate. Delgado stood. Lacalle Pou completed the outgoing term.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Orsi wins the 24 November 2024 presidential runoff against Álvaro Delgado, not a later speech about Orsi wins the 24 November 2024 presidential runoff against Álvaro Delgado.
Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Corte Electoral counted. He was the FA candidate. Delgado stood. Lacalle Pou completed the outgoing term. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
