The candidate of the ruling right-wing Colorado party, Santiago Peña, won the presidential election in Paraguay. As the electoral authority announced on Sunday after counting 96 percent of the ballot papers, the 44-year-old economist and former finance minister received more than 42 percent of the votes. His challenger Efraín Alegre, who leads a centre-left alliance, came up with 27.5 percent.
The conservative Colorado party, which has been in power for 75 years with a five-year break, had previously feared losing power. According to polls, Peña and Alegre were about even.
