Montevideo, Uruguay – October 27, 2024: Former Uruguayan President José «Pepe» Mujica, aged 89 and battling esophageal cancer, cast what he considers his «final vote» in today’s general elections. From his wheelchair, Mujica urged support for democracy and adapting to technological changes, while highlighting the youth’s role in politics. As a mentor to Frente Amplio candidate Yamandú Orsi, Mujica’s vote symbolizes his enduring political commitment. Today’s elections will determine the successor of President Luis Lacalle Pou, with a runoff scheduled for November 24.
