The governor of Tucumán, Juan Manzur, celebrated that the citizens of that province are “going to the polls en masse” to vote in the elections.”Once again, happily all the people of Tucumán are going to the polls and, from the information we , the people of Tucuman empowered to vote have massively turned to expressing their desires and the hope of what they want and want for the province in the next four years,” he said after casting his vote.

“I have been fulfilling the role of lieutenant governor and, when Juan Manzur had to be chief of staff, I was governing the province for 513 days. The Tucumans already know, they have seen me govern, they saw me work, they saw me make important decisions,” Jaldo said. , who cast his vote at General Bartolomé Miter School No. 8, city of Trancas.
In this sense, he remarked: “I can commit myself to reaffirm all that work that we have been doing, to consolidate everything that this management did, to change what we did not do well out there and to make all the decisions that are missing to reach the places and families where we still haven’t been able to do it.
What was voted in Tucumán
The elections were to be held on May 14, but a precautionary measure from the Supreme Court left the elections on hold by making room for a precautionary measure against the candidacy of Governor Juan Manzur, who was going to run as running mate of his current vice president. , Osvaldo Jaldo.
After the challenge of Manzur’s candidacy, who decided to resign due to the suspension of the elections, Peronism is trying in these elections to assert its favoritism with Osvaldo Jaldo at the head of the ballot.
Despite Manzur’s displacement, the Frente de Todos runs as a favourite. If they win, Peronism will prolong the political hegemony it exercises in Tucumánwhere he has governed since 1983, with the exception of a single democratic mandate between 1995 and 1999 that was in charge of the former repressor Antonio Bussi (who had already governed the province between 1976 and 1977 but as de facto controller).
The most competitive rival that the Frente de Todos finds at the polls will be Juntos por el Cambio, which will compete with the formula headed by the UCR national deputy and former mayor of Concepción Roberto Sánchez, who will be seconded by the mayor of San Miguel de Tucuman, German Alfaro. Former President Mauricio Macri was in Tucumán last week with his candidates and the head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, did the same this Thursday to close the campaign.
The liberalism of Javier Milei participates in this election at the hands of Ricardo Bussi, son of the former repressorwho leads the ticket of the Fuerza Republicana label (the party founded by the late Bussi father) in the framework of a formula together with the provincial legislator Gerardo Huesen.
The rest of the political forces that are in the dark room are the Broad Front for Tucumán (Federico Masso-Florencia Guerra), the Left Front (Martín Correa and Alejandra Arreguez), Labor Policy (Raquel Grassino and Luis Toranzo), and Nos Unite Change (Juan Coria and Liliana Guzmán).
