Overview
- La Libertad Avanza secured a broad victory in the Oct. 26 legislative elections, prevailing in most provinces according to provisional and now several confirmed definitive tallies.
- Definitive recounts affirmed the provisional winners in five razor‑thin contests: La Rioja, La Pampa, Santa Cruz, Chaco and Chubut, where margins ranged from 775 to 3,447 votes.
- In the Province of Buenos Aires, La Libertad Avanza leads Fuerza Patria by about 46,600 votes; the definitive count in La Plata is underway and will determine final seat distribution.
- In the City of Buenos Aires, the last Deputy seat remains in dispute as Martín Lousteau holds a lead of a little over 1,000 votes over La Libertad Avanza pending the final tally.
- Cristina Fernández de Kirchner published a post‑election analysis blaming Axel Kicillof’s decision to split the Buenos Aires vote as a strategic error, arguing it concentrated anti‑Peronist support, citing fear and remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump, and urging Peronist unity.
