MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguayans on Sunday voted in the second round of the country's presidential election , with the conservative governing party and a left-leaning coalition locked in a close runoff following level-headed campaigns widely seen as emblematic of the country's strong democracy. As polls closed Sunday evening, turnout stood at 89.4% — around the same as during the first round last month in which the two moderate coalitions both failed to win an outright majority. Voting in Uruguay is compulsory. Depending on how tight the vote turns out to be, electoral officials may not call the race for days — as happened in the contentious 2019 runoff that brought center-right President Luis Lacalle Pou to office and ended 15 years of rule by Uruguay’s left-leaning Broad Front by a razor-thin margin. Álvaro Delgado, the incumbent party’s candidate who won nearly 27% in the first round of voting on Oct. 27, has campaigned under the slogan “re-elect a good government." Other conservative parties that make up the government coalition — in particular, the Colorado Party that came in third place last month — notched 20% of the vote collectively, enough to give Delgado an edge over his challenger. Yamandú Orsi from the Broad Front, who took 44% of the vote in the general election, is promising to forge a “new left” in Uruguay that draws on the memory of stability and economic growth under his Broad Front coalition, which presided over pioneering social reforms that won widespread international acclaim from 2005-2020, including the legalization of abortion, same-sex marriage and sale of marijuana . With inflation easing and the economy expected to expand by some 3.2% this year, according to the International Monetary Fund, surveys show that Uruguayans remain largely satisfied with the administration of Lacalle Pou, who constitutionally cannot run for a second consecutive term. But persistent complaints about sluggish growth, stagnant wages and an upsurge in violent crime could just as easily add the small South American nation to a long list of places this year where frustrated voters have punished incumbents in elections around the world. With most polls showing a virtual tie between Delgado and Orsi, analysts say the vote may hinge on a small group of undecided voters — roughly 10% of registered voters in the nation of 3.4 million people. “Neither candidate convinced me and I feel that there are many in my same situation,” said Vanesa Gelezoglo, 31, in the capital, Montevideo, adding she would make up her mind at “the last minute.” Analysts say the candidates’ lackluster campaigns and broad consensus on key issues have generated extraordinary indecision and apathy in an election dominated by discussions about social spending and concerns over income inequality but largely free of the anti-establishment rage that has vaulted populist outsiders to power in neighboring Argentina and the United States. “The question of whether Frente Amplio (the Broad Front) raises taxes is not an existential question, unlike what we saw in the U.S. with Trump and Kamala framing each other as threats to democracy," said Nicolás Saldías, a Latin America and Caribbean senior analyst for the London-based Economist Intelligence Unit. “That doesn't exist in Uruguay.” Both candidates are also appealing to voter angst over the current government's struggle to stem the rise in violent crime that has shaken a nation long regarded as one of the region’s safest, with Delgado promising tough-on-crime policies and Orsi advocating a more community-oriented approach. Delgado, 55, a rural veterinarian with a long career in the National Party, served most recently as Secretary of the Presidency for Lacalle Pou and promises to pursue his predecessor’s pro-business policies. He would continue pushing for a trade deal with China that has raised hackles in Mercosur, an alliance of South American countries promoting regional commerce. "We have to give the government coalition a chance to consolidate its proposals,” said Ramiro Pérez, a street vendor voting for Delgado on Sunday. Orsi, 57, a former history teacher and two-time mayor from a working-class background, is widely seen as the political heir to former President José “Pepe” Mujica , an ex-Marxist guerilla who became a global icon for helping transform Uruguay into one of the region's most socially liberal and environmentally sustainable nations. “He's my candidate, not only for my sake but also for my children's,” Yeny Varone, a nurse at a polling station, said of Orsi. “In the future they'll have better working conditions, health and salaries.” Mujica, now 89 and recovering from esophageal cancer , turned up at his local polling station before balloting even began, praising Orsi's humility and Uruguay’s famous stability. “This is no small feat,” he said of Uruguay's “citizenry that respects formal institutions.” Orsi planned no dramatic changes, and, despite his call for a revitalized left-wing, his platform continues the Broad Front's traditional mix of market-friendly policies and welfare programs. He proposes tax incentives to lure investment and social security reforms that would lower the retirement age but fall short of a radical overhaul sought by Uruguay's unions. The contentious plebiscite on whether to boost pension payouts failed to pass in October, with Uruguayans rejecting generous pensions in favor of fiscal constraint. Both candidates pledged full cooperation with each other if elected. “I want (Orsi) to know that my idea is to form a government of national unity,” Delgado told reporters after casting his vote in the capital's upscale Pocitos neighborhood. He said that if he won, he and Orsi would chat on Monday over some yerba mate, the traditional herbal drink beloved by Uruguayans. Orsi described Sunday's democratic exercise as “an incredible experience" as he voted in Canelones, the sprawling town of beaches and cattle ranches just north of Montevideo where he served as mayor for a decade. “The essence of politics is agreements,” he said. “You never end up completely satisfied.” Associated Press writer Isabel DeBre in Villa Tunari, Bolivia, contributed to this report.As Lin Jing'en wanders the streets, a shadow of her former self, it is a sobering reminder of the fragility of success and the importance of compassion and support for those who have fallen on hard times.

Only time will tell if Lin Jing'en can overcome her demons and reclaim her rightful place in the spotlight.

A rescheduled fixture from round 11 of the 2024-25 League One season sees Leyton Orient and Huddersfield Town go head-to-head against each other at Brisbane Road on Tuesday evening. The teams have made contrasting starts to the current campaign, with the visitors firmy in contention for a place in the playoffs as things stand, while their hosts are currently embroiled in a relegation battle. © Imago After losing each of their opening four league matches, Leyton Orient went on a downward spiral for the next two months, during which they managed just four wins from 12 matches across all competitions. However, Richie Wellens 's men have since turned things around, embarking on a three-game winning streak across league and cup duty prior to their goalless stalemate against Stevenage Town at the Lamex Stadium on Saturday. Despite their resurgence in recent weeks, the Os are 21st in the League One table , one point adrift of safety, albeit with two games on hand on Crawley Town, who currently sit just outside the relegation zone. A chance to win game number four on the bounce in front of their fans now awaits Leyton Orient off the back of victories over Colchester United, Rotherham and most recently Blackpool in the three home outings prior. However, the hosts have historically struggled in games against the visitors having failed to win any of the most recent eight editions of this fixture, although Tuesday's clash will be the first meeting between the teams since 2015, and Leyton will be hoping for a change in fortunes. © Imago Unlike Leyton Orient, Huddersfield flew out of the blocks with four wins from their first four matches, after which they went on a dry patch, losing seven of their subsequent eight matches across all competitions. Michael Duff 's men would finally return to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Barnsley on October 5, and that has formed the basis for an upturn in form that has yielded five wins and two draws from their eight matches since. Last time out, The Terriers claimed a 2-1 triumph over Charlton Athletic at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday thanks to goals from Matthew Pearson and David Kasumu either side of Matthew Godden 's equaliser. Seeking an instant return to the Championship after their relegation last time out, Huddersfield are fifth in the standings at the moment, five points shy of automatic promotion with a game in hand but also level on points with the teams just outside the playoff places. Currently with the joint fourth-best defensive record in the division, only behind Wrexham, Wigan and Exeter, Tuesday's visitors have fared well at the back but certainly have a higher gear to find at the top end of the pitch. © Imago Leyton's Ollie O'Neill was shown his fifth yellow card of the campaign against Stevenage, making him ineligible to play any part here due to a one-game suspension. Charlie Kelman looks set to become the biggest beneficiary of O'Neill's absence as he is set to return to the lineup after having to settle for a cameo last time out. Twenty-five-year-old David Kasumu has now found the back of the net in consecutive matches for Huddersfield and will be looking to deliver the goods once again. Matthew Pearson and Rhys Healey are major doubts for the away side here after both coming off with injury scares before the half-time whistle against Charlton. Leyton Orient possible starting lineup: Keeley; Currie, Happe, Beckles, James; Warrington, Pratley; Kelman, Galbraith, Perkins; Agyei Huddersfield Town possible starting lineup: Chapman; Lonwijk, Lees, Helik; Miller, Kasumu, Kane, Wiles, Spencer; Koroma, Radulovic All indications point to a victory for Huddersfield, but Leyton Orient will be keen to put up a decent fight on their home ground. Nonetheless, we are tipping the visitors to carry the day and come away with maximum points when all is said and done.

There aren't many 20-year-old games that have become as universally cherished as The Simpsons: Hit & Run. But despite the game's popularity, a sequel never emerged, which one dev has now revealed was down to a rejection from an unknown employee at the game's publisher. Earlier in November, YouTube speedrunning documentarian Summoning Salt posted a video detailing the history of speedrun world records in The Simpsons: Hit & Run. A few days after the video's release, a comment appeared from Joe McGinn, the lead designer on the game, sharing his praise for the video and later providing some insider knowledge on various...
