Asunción's upcoming municipal elections are a focal point for the opposition alliance, with candidate Soledad Núñez leading the charge to ensure a fair and transparent process. Her recent meeting with the Superior Electoral Justice Tribunal (TSJE) underscores a commitment to safeguarding the popular will. Núñez, alongside her robust electoral control team, has voiced critical concerns regarding vote counting and electoral oversight, seeking concrete assurances from the TSJE.

The alliance's insistence on manual vote counting for single-member candidacies, as highlighted by Deputy Rocío Vallejo, is a crucial demand aimed at bolstering security and public trust. This push for transparency reflects a broader desire to ensure that the election results genuinely mirror the aspirations of Asunción's citizens. The engagement with electoral authorities, while finding some openness, signals a continued effort to build confidence in the democratic process.

From our perspective at ABC Color, the integrity of the electoral system is paramount. While we acknowledge the efforts of the TSJE ministers to address these concerns, the vigilance of civil society and political actors like Núñez is essential. The upcoming elections on October 4 are not just about choosing a mayor, but about reaffirming the democratic values that underpin our society. Ensuring a reliable and transparent electoral process is key to motivating greater citizen participation and ultimately shaping the future of Asunción.
