Baruja said the definition of Alliana’s ticket for 2028 will be known after the municipal elections
The urbanism minister said the ruling Colorado Party’s priority is focused on the municipal elections on October 4. He also reaffirmed that Pedro Alliana will have the authority to choose his running mate for 2028.
The Minister of Urbanism, Housing and Habitat, Juan Carlos Baruja, said that in the Colorado Party and in Honor Colorado the immediate focus is on the municipal elections on October 4 and maintained that the definition of the presidential ticket for 2028 will be announced once that date has passed.
According to La Nación Paraguay, Baruja recalled that within the movement there is an agreement for Vice President Pedro Alliana to be the one who chooses his vice presidential candidate on the 2028 ticket.
The official told the press that the discussions about that candidacy are part of an internal debate that had already been taking place within the ruling party. In that context, he considered it positive that those differences and analyses are expressed, because he believes they can later lead to a convergence that strengthens the political space.
According to La Nación Paraguay, Baruja said that different sectors promoted names for that eventual candidacy. He indicated that the Council of Governors nominated César Sosa, governor of Guairá; that in the Chamber of Deputies the president of the chamber, Raúl Latorre, is being promoted; and that his name was put forward by senators and also has the backing of Horacio Cartes.
Baruja added that the head of the Colorado Party expressed his preference for his candidacy, although he stressed that this is not an imposition.
