Argentina Nears Oct. 26 Elections as Milei Emphasizes Seat Gains Over Buenos Aires Turnaround

Officials say the decisive measure will be how many seats they secure in Congress.

Overview

  • Casa Rosada insiders concede Diego Santilli is unlikely to flip Buenos Aires and now frame success as a narrow gap or a technical draw.
  • A Proyección Consultores survey taken Oct. 8–14 shows Jorge Taiana (Fuerza Patria) leading Diego Santilli (LLA) in Buenos Aires province, 37.4% to 30.2%, with Fuerza Patria at 42.3% by space versus 31.5% for LLA.
  • Javier Milei intensifies a provincial push, touring Córdoba and setting a Thursday campaign close in Rosario, Santa Fe.
  • The electoral court ordered provisional results to be published by province, curbing the government’s plan for an immediate national tally and shaping post‑vote narratives.
  • Milei signals a post‑election cabinet reset, with reports pointing to departures of Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein and Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona and a larger formal role for adviser Santiago Caputo.
