Argentine Ruling Party Backs Santilli for 2027; Pareja Steps Aside

Sebastián Pareja, chief strategist for La Libertad Avanza in Buenos Aires Province, has stepped aside, clearing the path for Diego Santilli as the ruling party's candidate for the 2027 provincial election. The move follows an internal agreement on candidate lists and the defection of a libertarian legislator to Joaquín de la Torre's faction, signaling consolidation within the ruling coalition ahead of the next electoral cycle.
