Argentina's centre-left Peronist candidate Alberto Fernández sweeps to a first-round triumph in Argentina's presidential election Sunday, official results show
Presidential candidate Alberto Fernandez celebrates his victory after election results in Buenos Aires, Argentina October 27, 2019.
His win also caps a remarkable political comeback for his running mate, ex-president Cristina Kirchner, who will be his vice-president. He said he had spoken by phone to Fernandez and had "invited him to breakfast tomorrow at the Casa Rosada because he has to start a period of orderly transition that will bring tranquility to Argentines," Macri told his supporters.
Macri had called for a massive turnout, which analysts saw as his main hope of closing a large opinion poll deficit on Fernandez and forcing a second round. "Nobody can put a country on its feet in four years, after how he found it. We opened our doors to the world after many years of being almost forgotten," she said, referring to the years when Argentina was a market pariah following a 2001 default.
The peso fell 5.86 percent in the week before the elections, and the week ended with the dollar at 65 pesos.
