Santa Fe Convention Upholds Locomotora Oliveras’s Election Over Residency Challenge

Delegates have initiated the selection of a replacement after upholding Oliveras’s credentials in her absence due to hospitalization.

Overview

  • On July 24, the Constituent Convention voted 59–6 to reject Amalia Granata’s challenge and validate Alejandra Oliveras’s credentials.
  • The commission of Peticiones, Poderes y Reglamento had recommended discarding the impugnation after finding that Oliveras rented and occupied a Santa Fe residence.
  • Delegates emphasized that the vote reflected procedural adherence rather than any impropriety in Oliveras’s election.
  • Oliveras remains hospitalized following a stroke ten days ago and is unable to assume her seat.
  • Verónica Colombo is expected to be appointed as her provisional replacement in the coming days.
