Sergio Uñac Launches Precandidacy With First Campaign Spot

He promotes a six-region economic plan with staggered regional open primaries to contest the Peronist nomination and shift power away from Buenos Aires leaders.

Overview

  • Uñac published the video titled “Por qué quiero ser presidente” on Tuesday as the opening installment of a 30-part audiovisual series that marks his formal step into the 2027 race.
  • The senator and former San Juan governor has officially presented a precandidacy inside the Partido Justicialista while framing his bid as a federal alternative to figures such as Axel Kicillof.
  • His campaign emphasizes a territorial strategy of province-by-province touring and a six-region economic plan aimed at boosting production and jobs by tailoring policy to regional needs.
  • Uñac has proposed resolving the PJ contest through open primaries held regionally on staggered dates to prevent a single top-down agreement from deciding the nomination.
  • He has cultivated ties with kirchnerist leaders, including hosting Máximo Kirchner and visiting Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, but still faces the challenge of translating provincial strength into national recognition and winning acceptance of his procedural proposal within a divided Peronism.
