Paraguay Colorado Party 2028 election planning

Overview

Political maneuvering within Paraguay’s ruling Colorado Party has intensified as leaders prepare for the 2028 elections. Initially, Vice President Pedro Alliana indicated he would delay announcing his presidential running mate until after the municipal elections on 4 October, expressing a preference for Minister of Urbanism, Housing and Habitat Juan Carlos Baruja.

By mid-August, Senator Antonio Barrios confirmed that Baruja has indeed been chosen to run alongside Alliana. Concurrently, Senate President Basilio Núñez proposed that Horacio Cartes lead the Honor Colorado movement’s senatorial list to secure an absolute majority, a move intended to rectify the 2018 election outcome where Cartes was prevented from taking his Senate seat. While Raúl Latorre has been identified as a potential future presidential candidate, party leaders suggest he will wait until the 2033 elections.
