Pedro Alliana meets Raúl Latorre amid presidential ticket disputes

Vice President Pedro Alliana met with Speaker of the House Raúl Latorre at the Vice Presidency headquarters as internal negotiations intensify within the Colorado Party to define its 2028 presidential ticket. The meeting occurs during a period of reconfiguration for the Honor Colorado movement following Horacio Cartes' announcement regarding the movement's role in upcoming contests.

There is active competition to secure the vice-presidential slot alongside a potential Alliana candidacy. The primary contenders identified include Raúl Latorre, Guairá Governor César “Cesarito” Sosa, and Minister of Industry and Commerce Marco Riquelme.

Some party leadership, including Deputy Alejandro Aguilera, has expressed skepticism toward Riquelme, citing a perceived lack of party militancy compared to Latorre and Sosa. While Riquelme is recognized as a representative of the business and industrial sector, critics within the party argue he lacks the established political track record held by the other aspirants.
