Milei’s party wins victory in Argentina midterm vote, media reports

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -The party of Argentina’s President Javier Milei’s has achieved a victory in Sunday’s midterm election, local media reported, virtually tying with the Peronist opposition in the key Buenos Aires province.

Analysts said ahead of the election that winning more than 35% of the total vote would be positive for Milei’s administration, as that would likely give his party and its allies enough seats in the legislature to prevent opponents from overriding presidential vetoes.
