Overview
- Cristina Fernández de Kirchner released a four‑page note calling the decision to hold the provincial vote separately a political error that led to the Buenos Aires setback.
- Kicillof convened the Movimiento Derecho al Futuro in La Plata to review the October 26 results, coordinate strategy with mayors, and reinforce internal backing.
- The governor’s camp argued the split preserved September vote levels and helped consolidate territorial power by securing provincial legislators and municipal council seats.
- Mayors such as Mario Secco, Gastón Granados, and Ricardo Alessandro publicly supported Kicillof’s approach, with some criticizing national Kirchnerism’s electoral strategy.
- Provincial leaders said the immediate focus is approval of the 2026 budget, the tax law, and borrowing authorization to cover obligations, salaries, security, and public works.
