ASUNCION (Reuters) - The candidate who finished second in Paraguay's presidential election said on Tuesday he had evidence of fraudulent voting and demanded a recount of ballots.

Efrain Alegre, a lawyer from the centre-left GANAR coalition, said on social media that the country's official elections tribunal was too quick to announce that Mario Abdo of the conservative Colorado Party won the election.
