Overview
- Máximo Kirchner convened the provincial council for Dec. 19 in Malvinas Argentinas as his mandate expires on Dec. 18.
- Party officials cite the charter’s 60‑day rule and warn that failing to call elections could invite judicial intervention.
- The contest crystallizes a tug‑of‑war between La Cámpora and Governor Axel Kicillof’s Movement, with parallel fights over the Senate’s first vice presidency, a role third in the provincial line of succession.
- Names floated for the Senate post include Mario Ishii, Sergio Berni, Malena Galmarini, and Ayelén Durán, reflecting competing alignments across Peronism.
- Candidate maneuvering for the PJ presidency includes Kicillof allies promoting Verónica Magario—some pushing a Magario–Julio Alak formula—while reports note Máximo could run again and figures like Fernando Gray and Mariel Fernández signal interest.
