Overview
- In Santiago del Estero, Elías Suárez took the oath in the provincial legislature as Gerardo Zamora handed over the sash and baton; Carlos Silva Neder was sworn in as vice governor.
- Suárez’s first address emphasized continuity, defense of federalism and an “efficient state,” and confirmed a new Economic and Social Council spanning business, labor, academia and government.
- Zamora exited the governorship after two decades of family rule in the top post and moved to the National Senate, as the Frente Cívico–PJ alliance maintains overwhelming territorial control.
- In Corrientes, Juan Pablo Valdés received the baton from his brother Gustavo Valdés, extending UCR rule; at 42, he becomes the province’s youngest governor.
- Both cabinets remain undisclosed; Corrientes officials signal a Thursday reveal with continuity in key posts expected, Gustavo Valdés takes a provincial Senate seat and his name is floated for national UCR leadership, and Eduardo Tassano was elected to lead the provincial lower house.
