Party primaries in Pedro Juan Caballero proceed without major incidents

Internal party elections in Pedro Juan Caballero unfolded with notable normalcy, as reported by officials from both the Authentic Radical Liberal Party (PLRA) and the National Republican Association (ANR). The process is a key step towards the Municipal Elections scheduled for October.

In the Amambay department, more than 115,000 party members were eligible to cast their ballots. The regional office of the Electoral Registry indicated that over half of these eligible voters reside in Pedro Juan Caballero. Security forces, including National Police commanders, confirmed that the day's activities were largely incident-free, commending the voters for maintaining order at polling stations.

Participation was described as steady, particularly in the morning hours. By early afternoon, approximately 25% of eligible voters had cast their ballots, according to reports from poll workers. This level of engagement is crucial as parties select their official candidates for mayor and council positions.
