UCR Poised to Retain Corrientes as Sheinbaum Urges UN on Castillo, With River and Boca Rolling and Monterrey on Top

With around 52% in the provisional tally, officialist Juan Pablo Valdés leads Corrientes’ gubernatorial race, ending talk of a runoff as peronist Martín Ascúa and Ricardo Colombi trail near 20% and 17%, and LLA’s Lisandro Almirón sits near 8%. The Junta Electoral scheduled the definitive count for Sept. 2 at 18:00 in the provincial legislature, after a night marked by delays and a temporarily inaccessible results site, and reported turnout above 70%. Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum met Pedro Castillo’s lawyer, Guido Croxatto, voiced solidarity with the detained ex‑Peruvian leader, and called on the UN to act in defense of human rights and against political persecution. In Argentina’s Clausura, River beat San Martín SJ 2-0 to lead Group B and Boca won 2-0 at Aldosivi for a third straight victory that lifted it to second in the Tabla Anual, while Talleres fell 1-0 to Riestra and deepened relegation worries. After Liga MX’s Jornada 7, Monterrey tops the Apertura on 18 points and Pumas claimed their first home win at CU this season with Aaron Ramsey’s stoppage‑time goal against Atlas.
