Overview
- La Libertad Avanza took nearly 41% of the vote, securing 13 of the 24 Senate seats at stake and 64 of the 127 lower house seats contested.
- Turnout reached 67.9%, the lowest in decades, according to the BBC report cited by Ukrinform.
- Before the vote, U.S. President Donald Trump tied up to $40 billion in assistance to Javier Milei’s success, saying support would end if he lost.
- The party previously held seven Senate seats and 37 in the lower house, so the result significantly enlarges its congressional bloc.
- Milei told supporters the victory would strengthen the path of reforms focused on spending cuts and deregulation.
