“New times will come in San Juan and I hope that from this Monday the transition begins with the elected governor so that the province continues on the path of growth,” said Uñac. “Despite the partisan and ideological differences, we all have to work together for the people of San Juan.”
With more than 70% of the polling stations counted, Together for Change obtained 51.13% of the votes, of which 49% corresponded to Orrego. The Peronist candidates, José Luis Gioja and Rubén Uñac shared 44% of the votes.
“I want to thank all the people of San Juan who trusted us,” in his first statements as governor-elect. “We know that they have not given us trust, they gave it to us. This governor is going to work with absolutely everyone, regardless of political ideology. I have come to politics to work, fulfill and do”.
Together for Change San Juan won: Marcelo Orrego’s victory puts an end to 20 years of Peronism
Electoral participation was approximately 70% of the register of 579,000 citizens qualified to vote through the Democratic Participation System (Sipad), similar to the Ley de Lemas, which arose from the electoral reform that eliminated the Primaries, Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory (STEP).
After the ruling of the Supreme Court of Justice that disqualified the current provincial president, Sergio Uñac, from competing in the elections scheduled for May 14, the elections were rescheduled and the ruling party elected Rubén Uñac, brother of the governor and current senator national.
The former provincial president José Luis Gioja also participated in the Peronist internship, who in fact is leading the internship of the ruling party according to the charge of the provisional scrutiny.
Orrego surpassed Sergio Vallejos (who had requested before the Court the suspension of the elections and the challenge of Uñac), Marcelo Arancibia (Juntos) and Eduardo Cáceres (San Juan al Futuro). Javier Milei’s space in San Juan, Desarrollo y Libertad, appears far behind and without a chance with 3.52% of the votes with three candidates.
