File photo of Uruguayan presidential candidate Tabare Vazquez, a physician who leads the Frente Amplio (Broad Front), a center-left coalition formed by unions, socialists, and former guerrilla members. According to the latest polls, Vazquez, a former mayor of Uruguay’s capital city of Montevideo, would obtain more than the 50 percent of the votes required to win the presidential race in the first round scheduled for Sunday, October 31, becoming the first constitutional president of Uruguay who does not belongs to the two traditional parties that have ruled this nation throughout its history.
