Milei’s Bloc Wins Argentina’s Midterms With 40.84%, Expanding Its Hold in Congress

The result strengthens La Libertad Avanza’s leverage for reforms, leaving it short of a quorum and dependent on allies.

Overview

  • Official results show La Libertad Avanza took 40.84% of the national vote and secured 64 of the 127 deputy seats up for renewal, with gains in the Senate.
  • LLA prevailed across much of the country, winning in 16 provinces including Buenos Aires City, Córdoba, Santa Fe and Mendoza, while the Province of Buenos Aires was decided by a razor-thin margin.
  • Turnout was about 68% of registered voters, marking lower participation than in the 2021 and 2023 national elections.
  • The new single paper ballot was implemented nationwide and was broadly reported to function smoothly without major operational irregularities.
  • Political focus now turns to cabinet decisions, negotiations to assemble votes for quorum and reforms, and market reactions linked to the government’s strengthened mandate and recent U.S. currency-swap support.
