Milei Backing Vocalist Ana Tamagno to Enter Congress on Dec. 10 After Santilli Tapped as Interior Minister

Closed-list succession elevates the Buenos Aires candidate who finished 18th, slightly enlarging the governing bloc.

Overview

  • The language and literature teacher will take the Chamber of Deputies seat vacated by Diego Santilli.
  • La Libertad Avanza won about 40% of the Buenos Aires provincial vote and 17 seats, placing the next-listed candidate in line to replace a vacancy.
  • Her swearing-in on December 10 will bring the officialist bloc to 85 members, as Santilli had been expected to join PRO’s bench.
  • Tamagno rose to prominence as a backing singer in Javier Milei’s La Banda Presidencial after a viral Luna Park appearance in May 2024.
  • She edited Milei’s book La construcción del milagro and built her career as a teacher in Dolores, where she also worked as an actress.
