On the verge of rupture, Peronism reached an agreement on the Buenos Aires lists and LLA left little room for the PRO.

A lackluster election, which will feature protagonists with little public awareness and which began with no chance of generating voter interest , ended up putting Peronism on the brink of collapse and generated serious tensions in the agreement between La Libertad Avanza and the PRO , the two main coalitions currently vying for dominance in the Province of Buenos Aires.

Peronism, which must defend its position in the provincial legislature to address the bills submitted by Axel Kicillof, spent several hours in suspense when the governor considered that Máximo Kirchner was not respecting the principles of the weak agreement that united him and Sergio Massa in the Fuerza Patria front, which implied that none of the three factions into which Buenos Aires Peronism is currently divided would have the power to veto the candidates proposed by each one.

At midnight, when the deadline for submitting the lists of candidates for Buenos Aires and municipal elections expired , Peronism was virtually fractured, and its leaders requested a two-hour extension from the Electoral Board . In the early hours of Sunday morning, they dramatically brokered an agreement that will allow them to compete and avoid a historic embarrassment .

In the agreement that La Libertad Avanza forged with the PRO, meanwhile, tensions remained alive until late Saturday afternoon, having left several Macri-supporting mayors from the province's interior out of the agreement. They ended up joining Somos Buenos Aires, a third electoral option, a coalition that includes Radicalism, Peronists dissatisfied with Kirchnerism, and independents.

With these leaks, Somos Buenos Aires ended up putting together lists that could perform well in the electoral sections of the interior of Buenos Aires, where La Libertad Avanza would win today.

These candidates, along with others with lesser chances of securing legislative representatives, will compete on September 7 , when 69 seats—46 in the House of Representatives and 23 in the Senate—will be up for grabs in the eight electoral sections into which the province is divided. This will be the first time in several decades that this election will be separate from the national elections, which, in the case of Buenos Aires, will only appoint representatives to Congress and will take place on October 26.

The seats in the Buenos Aires Legislature, a body that has been shrouded in secrecy for many years and recently returned to the headlines when the scandal of the diversion of salaries of employees appointed to the body to a network of political party officials was revealed, won't be the only thing provincial voters will be voting on in September. The deliberative councils of the 135 municipalities will also be renewed.

In addition to the splitting of the national date promoted by Kicillof, the election will have other peculiarities .

One is that the result could lead to varying interpretations of the winner . Since there won't be a single ballot that unifies the entire province, there will be eight separate elections: one for each electoral district.

Another is that all indications are that voter turnout will be historically low .

Furthermore, in recent days it has become known that the three main coalitions will include candidates who currently hold other positions with terms that expire in 2027. Most of them are mayors. How many of them will take up their new positions?

The last peculiarity, perhaps the most resonant, is that Cristina Kirchner , who had said she wanted to be a candidate in the southern Conurbano, will not be able to participate because she is imprisoned at home .
