Paraguay Opposition Leads over Ruling Party in Capital Asuncion
Published 9 November 2015
A new poll shows center-left opposition candidate Mario Ferreiro in first place in Asuncion ahead of the conservative Colorado Party's incumbent mayor.
Paraguay could be headed for a political shake-up as the opposition in the capital city Asuncion holds its ground over 10 points ahead of the incumbent mayor, according to new poll ahead of the South American country’s Nov. 15 municipal election.
Opposition candidate Mario Ferreiro of the Revolutionary Febrerista Party now has a 16 point lead over the incumbent candidate Arnaldo Samaniego of the ruling Colorado Party, according to a IBOPE CIES poll reported in Paraguay’s Ultima Hora.
The political shift in Asuncion could signal a similar sentiment at the national level to vote conservative Colorado Party President Horacio Cartes out of office in the 2018 presidential election.
