Overview
- La Libertad Avanza holds a national edge in provisional tallies as the definitive recount in Buenos Aires province proceeds under the Junta Electoral, with a 46,600‑vote gap and completion expected next week.
- In Buenos Aires City, Martín Lousteau leads LLA by just over 1,000 votes for the final lower-house seat, with two communes left to tally and his allies calling the margin effectively secure.
- Cristina Fernández de Kirchner published an analysis blaming the decision to split the Buenos Aires vote for weakening Peronism, while calling for party unity and noting voter concerns over currency stability.
- Financial conditions steadied with daily messaging from U.S. Treasury’s Scott Bessent and a $20 billion swap, as the government moved to inject liquidity via bond operations and eased bank reserve rules to lower interest rates; the dollar remains near $1,500.
- Local fallout includes LLA defeating incumbent mayors in key capitals such as Córdoba, San Miguel de Tucumán and Santa Fe; separately in Peru, Susy Díaz withdrew a congressional bid and an alliance registered Pedro Pablo Kuczynski as a Senate precandidate.
