Caaguazú Governor Claims Electoral Victory in Party Primaries

Caaguazú Governor Marcelo Soto has declared a significant electoral victory for his political faction in the recent municipal primaries. Soto, affiliated with the ANR-HC party, took to social media to boast about his team's performance, presenting a graphic that indicated his precandidates for mayor won in 14 districts, surpassing the 8 districts secured by candidates aligned with Senator Silvio "Beto" Ovelar.

Official preliminary results from the Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission (TREP) system, however, suggest a more comprehensive win for the Honor Colorado movement within the department. According to these figures, precandidates for mayor who are part of Honor Colorado triumphed in all 22 districts of Caaguazú during the municipal primaries held last Sunday. This indicates a strong showing for the party across the region.

The message is clear

Soto interpreted the results as a clear message from the voters of Caaguazú. He expressed gratitude to the party members, candidates, and citizens for their participation in the democratic process. "Honor Colorado remains the main political force in all 22 districts of our department," Soto stated, emphasizing unity beyond internal competition. He called for continued collaboration to foster community development and ensure the well-being of the people.

The governor highlighted specific victories, such as Marcos Benítez's re-election bid in Coronel Oviedo. The election results come ahead of the municipal elections scheduled for October 4, where these precandidates will vie for the mayoral positions.

Honor Colorado remains the main political force in all 22 districts of our department. I want to thank every leader, candidate, poll worker, representative, and citizen who participated in this great democratic day. Beyond internal competitions, today we are united by a common challenge: to continue working for the development of our communities and for the well-being of our people.
