Jujuy
The former governor criticized the party's internal process, called for self-criticism and dialogue between Rubén Rivarola and Carolina Moisés, and said Peronism can still contest the province. He also defended PASO primaries, demanded mining contributions to infrastructure and called for accountability at state companies.
Neuquén
The PRO will maintain a parallel list supporting the governor's reelection but refuses to join the Primero Neuquén municipal structure. It is considering its own candidate or backing Leandro López, while the UCR moves toward Cumplir and Nicolás Vaamonde, fragmenting the capital's opposition for 2027.
Santa Fe
The provincial government wants eleven bills delayed since May approved before year-end and blames Socialist objections. Searches, evidence, trials in absentia and high-profile prisoners dominate negotiations in which the executive accepts drafting changes but not alterations to the core reforms.
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.
Mendoza
Alfredo Cornejo announced US$43 million in electricity tenders and defended a US$200 million productive-conversion loan while Radicals and Peronists anticipated the 2027 contest.

La Pampa
The Provincial Council celebrated the normalization of the Peronist Youth and the October 17 rally, but the absence of Luciano di Nápoli and Fernanda Alonso exposed tensions. The leadership accepts possible primaries for 2027 while seeking to preserve provincial control and contain Fuerza Pampa.
Misiones

Salta
Salta's audit office could not verify nearly 20 million pesos, 9% of spending, because payment orders and supporting documents were missing. Councilor Lorena Torres proposes formally rejecting the General Account, reconstructing the 2021 council vote and sending new records to the oversight body.
Santa Cruz
Rafael Güenchenen's leadership faces Governor Claudio Vidal, criticism from self-organized workers and reports—without an official resolution—of talks to intervene in the union. YPF's withdrawal, an estimated 8,000 regional job losses and mixed production results deepen the conflict.
Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands
