Peronist Governors Succeed in Provincial Elections Amid National Shift

Peronist governors who held provincial elections simultaneously with national polls achieved strong outcomes, in contrast to the national trend where La Libertad Avanza (LLA) secured most provinces. Their approach of cooperating with President Milei's administration proved advantageous, enabling them to achieve significant victories in their respective regions.


Peronist Governors Succeed in Provincial Elections Amid National Shift

**People, who were chosen in the first round of voting, supported the positions of the regional leaders, which showed their positive attitude to the results of the primaries, thus as the operation La Libertad Avanza (LLA) was successful in several regions. This was the result of the primary election strategy, based on the existing pillars with the authorities.

**Agreement with the authorities and support of the regional leaders** All three leaders: Javier Milei (Argentina), Raoul Khullie (Catalonia) and Gerardo Samora (Santiago-del-Estero) became the examples of such politics. All three did not only save the elections on the common data, but also supported the initiative of the president Javier Milei, supporting the results of the primaries, which gave the control over the executive power.

Javier, who became the winner of the "Primaries for the Fatherland" (UPC) in Tucuman and created the unusual block, proved his victories under the circumstances. His list received 50.57% of votes, significantly ahead of LLA (35.12%). Khullie, who supported the solidarity with the authorities, including the results for the "Basic" law, showed his position 45.66% against 33.63% for LLA. In Santiago-del-Estero the current president of the Front for Victory in the region received 51.36% of votes, and his candidate for the post of governor — 70% support.

**Different strategies and results in other regions** In La Peronista Richard Kinter received the right result with LLA: 43.57% against 43.27%. The Argentine politician Kikilof in Bernardo-o-Prince, not mentioning the division of the votes, supported the leaders (47.28%), but his call was against the victory of the candidates Kristina Kishner and Lava.

In the same regions, as Rio-Negro, San-Huan and Santa-Crus, the situation could be different. The third voice — the smaller parties — "divided" the support. In San-Huan the presidents won with 34.44%, "For San-Huan" — 31.02%, and LLA remained on the third place (26%).

**Ideology and comments** The politicians, who left from the tactics of blocking, operate on the apparatus of peronism, trying to save their positions. This, as the analyst Miller, "made a new card, opening the five-year period". In the regions, where the "third force" existed, but was more complicated, but such as the Exel Kikilof and Horhe Tayana, show their influence.

**In conclusion** "According to the results, the personalities, who were not chosen, are in agreement with the confirmation with the authorities, showing their positive attitude to the results of the primaries. This is what proves their traditional opposition," — said one of the analysts.
