The ruling party (“Cambiemos”) clinched a win<\/a><\/span> in Argentina\u2019s five main electoral districts, the first time this has happened since before the country returned to democracy in 1983. It strengthened its position in August\u2019s elections and gained more seats in both houses of Congress<\/a><\/span>, although it will still have to negotiate with other parties to reach quorum<\/em>. The flip side was Peronism, which lost its grip on Argentine politics: its main candidates lost.<\/p>\n

A FEW KEY POINTS<\/span><\/h1>\n

Overwhelming national victory.<\/strong> The government coalition was the most voted across the country: it won over 10 million votes (out of 24 million). It won in 13 of the 24 provinces, with resounding victories in the country\u2019s five main districts (province of Buenos Aires, city of Buenos Aires, C\u00f3rdoba, Santa Fe and Mendoza). It also won in historically Peronist districts like Chaco, Entre R\u00edos, La Rioja, Neuqu\u00e9n and Salta.<\/p>\n
