The party congress failed to reform its charter or disciplinary tribunal and opened another dispute over ten members who ran outside the PJ. One faction says three-year disqualifications are final; the Kirchner wing argues that eight appeals admitted in May suspended their effects.
Neuquén
Rolando Figueroa is considering fully separating Neuquén's election from the national calendar, with February 14 gaining traction.

Deputy Adrián Ravier will lead the provincial Executive Council, while Rural Society figure Federico Cobreros will chair the party congress. The distribution of posts excluded internal sectors linked to Luciano Ortiz, Juan Pablo Patterer and Martín Matzkin.
Neuquén
