Final Count Centers on Buenos Aires and CABA as LLA’s National Win Holds

Final tallies in Buenos Aires and the capital could shift seat distribution under D'Hondt.

Overview

  • La Libertad Avanza remains the confirmed national winner, with definitive counts closing in at least five close-call provinces and no reversals reported.
  • In Buenos Aires Province, the provisional margin is roughly 46,600 votes (about 0.5%) in favor of LLA, with the definitive count still underway and the potential to affect seat allocation.
  • In the City of Buenos Aires, about 1,411 votes separate Martín Lousteau from LLA for the last lower-house seat, with the final city tally expected by Friday.
  • The debut of paper single ballots prompted opposition legislators to press for provincial adoption and related reforms, as electoral judge Alejo Ramos Padilla urged debate in a nonelection year and flagged Buenos Aires’ underrepresentation.
  • Political fallout deepened after the vote, including a leadership crisis in Buenos AiresUCR after failing to win seats and scrutiny of capital city mayors who lost to LLA in key districts.
