Cartes Confirmed Honor Colorado's Ticket for 2028
The president of the Colorado Party said at an ANR event that Juan Carlos Baruja will accompany Pedro Alliana in the next general elections. The definition became known before the formal announcement that, according to Alliana, would come after the October municipal elections.
Horacio Cartes said this Tuesday at the National Republican Association, during a meeting with leaders from Paraguarí, that Juan Carlos Baruja will be the vice presidential candidate for the Republic for Honor Colorado, on a ticket headed by Pedro Alliana for the 2028 general elections, according to ABC Color.
According to that outlet, Cartes’ statement ended up confirming a version that had already been circulating for weeks. At the end of July, Alliana had said that the official ticket would be announced only after the municipal elections scheduled for October 4.
ABC Color also recalled that in August Alliana had mentioned other names besides Baruja, including the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Raúl Latorre, and the governor of Guairá, Cesarito Sosa.
Also, according to that newspaper, among the Colorado leaders who had already anticipated the Alliana-Baruja duo were Nicanor Duarte Frutos and Senator Gustavo Leite.
Baruja currently serves as head of the Ministry of Urbanism, Housing and Habitat. Still according to ABC Color, he was elected senator for the current legislative term, although he requested leave to not take that seat. He previously held positions as mayor of Paraguarí, minister of Agriculture and governor of the department of Paraguarí.
