Presidential primary elections were held in Uruguay on 30 June 2019 in order to nominate the presidential candidate for every political party.[1]
Broad Front
Background
The Broad Front is the party of incumbent president Tabaré Vázquez, which was unable to seek reelection due to constitutional term limits, so it had to pick a new presidential nominee. This primary was also considered a generation change of the Broad Front, due to the lack of presence of historically dominant names such as Tabaré Vázquez, José Mujica and Danilo Astori.[2][3]
