Milei's Party Projected to Keep Veto Power

Early results from Argentina’s midterm elections show President Javier Milei’s La Libertad Avanza winning about 40.8–41.5% of the vote nationally and in Buenos Aires province, displacing Peronists in that key district. With roughly 90–92% of ballots counted, the party is on track to more than double its seats in the Chamber of Deputies to about 64 (up from 37) and to secure around one-third of seats in both chambers—enough to protect Milei’s veto power. The outcome gives renewed momentum to his free‑market, austerity and deregulation agenda and follows sharp monthly inflation declines that supporters cite as economic gains. Milei’s government has faced public backlash over spending cuts and a corruption scandal involving his sister, and he has signaled possible cabinet changes and outreach to centrists as final counts are confirmed.
