Paraguay's Colorado Party likely to win back presidency


ASUNCION (Reuters) - Paraguayans will likely vote to put the Colorado Party back into the presidency on Sunday, restoring the centre-right party to power after leftist President Fernando Lugo broke its 60-year reign in 2008.

Wealthy businessman Horacio Cartes, 56, is the Colorado Party's candidate and leads most polls ahead of the election. A political newcomer who admits he did not start voting until four years ago, he is trying to put a new face on a party with a long history of corruption.
