MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — A plain-talking former leader of leftist guerrillas who sought power with kidnappings and bombings is Uruguay’s president-elect.
Jose Mujica, 74, won more than 50 percent of the votes in a runoff Sunday, according to exit polls by three leading pollsters, giving the center-left Broad Front coalition five more years in power.
Former President Luis Lacalle of the center-right National Party conceded defeat.
Mujica campaigned as a consensus-builder, vowing to continue the policies of popular President Tabare Vazquez.
