Buenos Aires Race Tightens: Milei Cites 'Technical Tie' as Kicillof Urges Vote to Curb Him

Turnout in the First and Third sections is viewed as decisive.

Overview

  • Javier Milei closed La Libertad Avanza’s campaign in Moreno, defended his sister Karina, claimed polls show an “empate técnico” and pressed supporters to vote and guard ballots.
  • Clashes and stone‑throwing were reported outside the Moreno venue as federal forces and Buenos Aires police mounted a large security operation that officials said exceeded original requests.
  • Axel Kicillof mocked the rally’s size, saying it “could have been in a closed gym,” accused the government of trying to divert attention from ANDIS‑related allegations and called for a democratic “brake” on Milei.
  • At a Tigre event, Kicillof praised Sergio Massa as a key architect of Peronist unity and insisted the Fuerza Patria ballot is the only one capable of stopping Milei’s agenda.
  • Kicillof disparaged LLA’s local candidate roster and planned a final swing through Merlo, Lomas de Zamora and a La Plata “mateada” as both coalitions intensify turnout operations in pivotal sections.
