The PLRA Organizes a National Electoral Oversight Plan for the Municipal Elections
The Liberal leadership has launched a technical committee to train poll watchers and strengthen vote protection ahead of the October 4 elections. The party aims to contest all 263 municipalities and says it has a chance of winning 110 mayoralties with its own candidates.
The Authentic Radical Liberal Party has begun to focus its efforts on electoral oversight ahead of the municipal elections on October 4, according to La Nacion Paraguay. The leader of the party, Alcides Riveros, said the immediate goal is to strengthen vote protection through the training of poll watchers across the country.
According to that outlet, Riveros said in remarks to 780 AM that over the next 15 days the party will concentrate its work on the municipal elections, which he described as a key stage for the party, before moving on to an opposition dialogue with a view to the 2028 presidential election.
For that task, the PLRA brought together the Electoral Secretariat, the Organization Secretariat and the body of general poll watchers in a technical committee. According to La Nacion Paraguay, the goal is to approach the electoral process with the aim of winning 110 of the 263 mayoralties at stake.
Riveros also said the party is working in all 263 municipalities, although with stronger backing in the districts where it believes it has the best chance of winning. He said the PLRA could reach about 110 mayoralties with affiliated candidates and 130 if alliances are added, always according to La Nacion Paraguay.
From the party’s general secretariat, they explained that the operation includes the transfer of board commissions from the blue directorate to localities in the interior to oversee the logistical preparation of the grassroots organizations. They also stressed that the municipal contest is not limited to the campaign to win over voters, but also requires ensuring the protection of votes and their correct transcription in the electoral tally sheets.
