Overview
- Máximo Kirchner says there was cross‑sector consensus during September’s list talks for him to continue at the helm of the PJ bonaerense, as his mandate ends on December 17.
- Party actors are discussing a council meeting to decide whether to extend the current leadership and then hold internal elections, with February–March floated as the likely window.
- Axel Kicillof has expanded his provincial clout and a Kicillof‑aligned bloc of roughly 40–50 mayors is pressing for renewed leadership more closely tied to the governor’s project.
- In a new radio interview, Máximo described his relationship with Kicillof as neutral and criticized the governor’s positioning, while Kicillof’s camp debates whether he should stay outside the party structure.
- Possible contenders being mentioned include Verónica Magario, Federico Otermín and Andrés “Cuervo” Larroque, and kirchnerista sources also claim—without independent confirmation—that Kicillof previously backed Máximo’s continuity.
