Mendoza Municipal Races Set as Candidate Lists Close for Feb. 22 Vote

The finalized slates crystallize a Peronist split alongside a Cambia Mendoza–LLA pact, signaling broader realignments.

Overview

  • Parties met the legal deadline to file candidates for councils in Maipú, San Rafael, Santa Rosa, La Paz, Rivadavia and Luján de Cuyo.
  • The Justicialist lineup led by Emir Félix was formally entered before the Junta Electoral, with PJ-branded lists competing against the kirchnerist Frente Patria in select districts.
  • Cambia Mendoza and La Libertad Avanza confirmed joint tickets, including Esteban Allasino’s return to the CM fold in Luján de Cuyo, where the slate is headed by Mónica Maroto with Sergio Fiorentini in second place.
  • The Peronist split will play out in three departments, notably San Rafael, where Omar Félix’s list fronts Francisco Perdigués for council while the kirchnerist space presents Nadir Yasuff under the “San Rafael Futuro” label.
  • Voters will renew half of each council—six seats in Maipú, San Rafael and Luján; five in La Paz, Santa Rosa and Rivadavia—and San Rafael will also elect 24 convention members to draft a municipal charter.
