10. Supporters by the stage

STORYLINE:
The leading contenders in Uruguay’s presidential election on Sunday said voters in the small South American nation had sent the race to a run-off in November.
An early count of the general elections showed Uruguay’s moderate leftist alliance leading over the conservative governing coalition with more than 60% ballots tallied.
The leftist former mayor, Yamandú Orsi, and the ruling party candidate, Álvaro Delgado, told crowds of cheering supporters that they would face off in a second round of voting on Nov. 24. Uruguayans will decide whether to return the long-dominant center-left coalition to power or continue the mandate of center-right President Luis Lacalle Pou.
Colorado party presidential candidate Andrés Ojeda, came in as a distant third and will support Delgado in the runoff.
Electoral officials reported a turnout of 89% of 2.7 million eligible voters in Uruguay, long considered a model democracy and bastion of stability where voting in presidential and congressional contests is compulsory.
