Overview

  • La Libertad Avanza’s slates were set under Karina Milei’s tight coordination, combining ministers such as Patricia Bullrich and Luis Petri with media outsiders to bolster the president’s reform agenda.
  • Cristina Kirchner’s intervention secured unified Peronist lists nationwide, resolving last-minute provincial disputes but leaving fragile local alliances.
  • Provincias Unidas, led by non-Peronist governors including Maximiliano Pullaro and Juan Schiaretti, registered centrist regional slates in several districts to offer an alternative to national polarization.
  • President Milei is slated to present La Libertad Avanza’s leading congressional candidates in Junín on Tuesday, marking the formal launch of his nationwide campaign tour.
  • The government aims to recruit 40,000 electoral poll watchers in Buenos Aires Province and 100,000 across Argentina to monitor the October 26 legislative elections.
