Overview

  • Cristina Kirchner set the Fuerza Patria candidate lineup for Buenos Aires with a pro‑union tilt that restores her control over selections.
  • Hugo Yasky, Sergio Palazzo, and Vanesa Siley are positioned to renew their seats, and ‘Huguito’ Moyano enters in the ninth slot on the list.
  • The slate favors CTA and Corriente Federal figures and shows no presence from the CGT leadership.
  • Axel Kicillof’s Movimiento Derecho al Futuro secured only two spots on the Buenos Aires list, reflecting a setback for his faction.
  • Union-linked candidacies extend beyond Buenos Aires, with Pablo Carro leading the kirchnerist list in Córdoba and other labor figures placed in lower, contingent positions.
