Electoral Court Confirms Lousteau Wins CABA’s Final Deputy Seat

Attention shifts to the slower definitive tally in Buenos Aires Province, potentially running into next week.

Overview

  • Electoral authorities closed the definitive count in the City of Buenos Aires on October 31, leaving Martín Lousteau with 99,034 votes after a gain of 1,294 in the final tally.
  • La Libertad Avanza fell 8,688 votes short of adding an eighth seat, as its candidate Valeria Rodrigues Trimarchi finished with 96,383.
  • The final allocation of CABA’s 13 deputy seats is set: La Libertad Avanza 7, Fuerza Patria 4, Frente de Izquierda 1, and Ciudadanos Unidos 1.
  • Lousteau said he will be sworn in on December 10 and accused the ruling party of running a disinformation campaign during the recount.
  • The Province of Buenos Aires began its definitive count on Wednesday and authorities indicate it could extend into next week due to its large electorate and tight margins.
