Argentina’s president’s party secures decisive victory in parliamentary elections

Argentinian President Javier Milei’s party has pulled off a stunning win in the country’s legislative elections, according to early results, Al Jazeera writes.

As noted, the victory boosts Milei’s ability to push forward with his radical overhaul of the economy, including free-market reforms and deep austerity measures.

Milei’s party, La Libertad Avanza, scored 40.84 percent of the votes cast for members of Congress on Sunday, compared with 31.64 percent for the opposition Peronist coalition, early results showed.

The results were based on a count of more than 90 percent of ballots cast.
