The Frente Amplio expanded its representation in both chambers of parliament, capturing a majority in the Senate. The centre-right Colorado Party improved its standing with 16% of the vote, while smaller parties, including the anti-system Identidad Soberana and the nationalist Cabildo Abierto, garnered 2.7% and 2.5%, respectively. Since two seats went to the system critical party Identidad Soberana, neither of the two blocs holds a majority in the House of Representatives.
The election results have left Uruguay with a parliament divided into two nearly equal political blocs, requiring both candidates to navigate a complex and divided electorate as the runoff approaches. Additionally, two referendums aimed at expanding the pension system and police rights were rejected.
