Overview

  • La Libertad Avanza informed the court that José Luis Espert renounced his candidacy and asked to place Diego Santilli atop its Buenos Aires list with new paper ballots.
  • The electoral panel ordered Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán and Correo Argentino to detail costs, budget availability, printing capacity and distribution timelines by Wednesday morning, and it convened a public hearing for Oct. 8 at 10:30.
  • The court also notified all participating parties and requested an accounting of the ballot stock already printed and the steps needed to deliver materials on time to polling stations.
  • President Javier Milei staged a concert‑style book launch at the Movistar Arena without addressing the Espert scandal, as opposition figures criticized the event and police faced off with protesters outside.
  • Peru’s transport unions paused their stoppage after late‑night talks with the government, with services resuming Oct. 7 and a multisector working table set for Oct. 14 to address driver killings and extortion.
