Argentine Economy Minister Sergio Massa is leading right-wing populist Javier Milei in early returns from Sunday's presidential election
Economy Minister Sergio Massa took the lead Sunday in Argentina’s presidential election against right-wing populist Javier Milei who has pledged to drastically overhaul the state. But a runoff next month appeared probable. With 86% of the votes counted, Massa had 36.2%, and Milei 30.3%. In order to win outright and avoid a Nov. 19 runoff, a candidate needed to get 45% of the vote, or 40% with a 10-point lead over the runner-up.
His platform also calls for reshaping Argentine culture, and he casts himself as a crusader against the sinister forces of socialism at home and abroad. Massa appeared to have outperformed predictions by growing support significantly in the critical Buenos Aires province, home to more than one-third of the electorate, said one pollster, who insisted on not being quoted by name in commenting on unofficial results.
