Milei Confirms Post‑Election Cabinet Shake‑Up After Oct. 26 Vote

He says the revamp will help drive 'second‑generation' reforms by securing the leverage he seeks in Congress.

Overview

  • Milei cast a 'good' outcome as achieving a blocking one‑third in the Chamber to defend vetoes and advance his agenda.
  • Three officials tied to the elections are expected to leave their posts if elected: spokesperson Manuel Adorni, Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, and Defense Minister Luis Petri.
  • News outlets report potential replacements and structural changes under discussion, including Alejandra Monteoliva or Guillermo Montenegro for Security, Sebastián Amerio for Justice, and a possible Security‑Justice merger.
  • Coverage details rising friction around adviser Santiago Caputo, with Milei signaling a formal role for him and multiple reports saying Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein is considering stepping down after the vote.
  • Government sources and media anticipate formal announcements early next week, as Milei urges high turnout and accuses kirchnerismo of trying to downplay the election.
