Tucumán
The governor rejected the opposition lawsuit against Article 90 of the constitution and said he will call the senator who chaired the 2006 convention as a witness. Jaldo claims a right to one reelection; opponents seek to block his candidacy as the Peronist split moves into court.

Santa Fe
National senator Carolina Losada is considering both re-election and heading a list for Santa Fe's Chamber of Deputies. Her closer alignment with Maximiliano Pullaro's provincial project comes as an electoral reform changes the distribution of the chamber's 50 seats and reshapes internal competition.
Tucumán
The libertarian group added Agustín Delacroix as its candidate for mayor of Yerba Buena and has named candidates for governor and three other municipalities. It still must choose a running mate, legislative lists in three sections and dozens of local line-ups before the provincial election.

Dante Bowen led the opening with Karen Guala Hernández and local organisers. The office was presented as a meeting and listening point for residents, intended to bring the needs of distant towns into the group's territorial work.

Neuquén
Rolando Figueroa is considering fully separating Neuquén's election from the national calendar, with February 14 gaining traction. In Río Negro, Alberto Weretilneck set a window between April and June. Municipal ties, public works, the MPN's future and opposition alliances are shaping both timetables.

Chubut

Entre Ríos
Eduardo Beswick did not file a slate for the October 3 party election, leaving Ignacio Cabrera as the only option. The new vote had been ordered after a court annulled the 2025 contest over discrepancies between envelopes, voter signatures and missing documentation.
