Dalmiro Garay Re-Elected to Lead Mendoza’s Supreme Court in 5–2 Vote

A secret ballot extended his mandate to November 2027 under a process that requires a two‑thirds threshold in the early rounds.

Overview

  • Garay secured 5 of 7 votes in the plenary that began at 6 p.m., meeting the two‑thirds requirement established for the first two rounds.
  • Mario Adaro, who campaigned for rotational leadership and broader, innovation‑focused management, participated remotely and voted against the reappointment.
  • The supporting votes came from Garay, María Teresa Day, Norma Llatser, Julio Gómez and Omar Palermo, with José Valerio joining Adaro in dissent.
  • Omar Palermo was chosen as first vice president and Julio Gómez as second vice president for the new two‑year administrative term.
  • The contest followed weeks of internal negotiations and public tensions over court governance, with employees protesting for wage improvements earlier in the day outside the courthouse.
