Pedro Alliana to announce presidential running mate after Paraguay municipal elections

Vice President Pedro Alliana said his presidential formula will be disclosed only after the municipal elections scheduled for 4 October. He reaffirmed his commitment to wait, noting his preference for current Minister of Urbanism, Housing and Habitat Juan Carlos Baruja while emphasizing that the internal party process must be completed.

Congress President Basilio “Bachi” Núñez reiterated that the decision rests with Alliana and that the Honor Colorado movement is focusing on the municipal contests before finalising the presidential ticket. Núñez listed other possible candidates such as César Sosa and Raúl Latorre, and quoted ANR president Horacio Cartes confirming Alliana’s prerogative, adding that the debate will not threaten party unity.
