The South American nation will continue under the political leadership of the left-wing Broad Front party.

Uruguay's Parliament begins its 48th session Sunday, with the party of President-elect Tabare Vazquez filling a majority of the seats.

In Uruguay's general elections last year, the Broad Front (FA) party won both the majority of Parliament and the presidency. Vazquez will begin his term March 1.

The South American country’s October elections resulted in 50 deputies and 15 senators from the FA. Outgoing President Jose “Pepe” Mujica was among the FA members elected to the nation's legislature.
