Overview
- Student elections are underway at UNLP across 17 faculties through Friday, with more than 217,000 eligible voters choosing center leadership, one Superior Council delegate, and five seats per faculty council.
- UNLP’s results will influence decanal majorities and the June 2026 Assembly that selects the university president, with closely watched races in Psychology and Medicine.
- New forces are gaining ground at UNLP as libertarian lists expand from one to six faculties, while peronist and left groupings compete in fragmented slates.
- UNSE concluded its vote, electing Marcelino Ledesma as rector and Fernanda Mellano as vice rector for Gestión y Compromiso by 45 voting units to 10 over Frente de Unidad Universitaria.
- UNL’s renewal process is in progress, with Laura Gutiérrez chosen as the first dean of the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and expectations of potential female candidacies for the rector post later in the cycle.
