Overview

• Argentina’s National Electoral Chamber overturned lower-court rulings and authorized Diego Santilli to replace José Luis Espert as La Libertad Avanza’s lead candidate for National Deputy in Buenos Aires.
• The court grounded its ruling in the gender-parity statute and its regulatory decree, rejecting Judge Alejo Ramos Padilla’s interpretation that would have elevated Karen Reichardt.
• The decision goes against the position of federal prosecutor Ramiro González, who had backed keeping Reichardt at the top of the list after Espert’s withdrawal.
• LLA’s separate appeal to reprint the Boleta Única de Papel following several candidate exits remains undecided after provincial electoral authorities initially denied the request.
• President Javier Milei staged campaign events in Resistencia, Chaco, with Governor Leandro Zdero, and in Corrientes with candidate Virginia Gallardo, as authorities probe an antisemitic death threat against LLA’s Corrientes office.
