At midnight on Saturday, the deadline for submitting lists of candidates for provincial and district party authorities (more than 70 municipalities) of the centenary party expired.
Gustavo Valdés is the new president of the UCR of Corrientes
Finally at the provincial level A single list was presented led by Valdés and supported by all the Mayors of the province, provincial and national legislators, Councilors and leaders from different points of the provincial geography..
An attempt by the outgoing President and former governor had previously been known Ricardo Colombi to pass the elections for the month of May 2025, a possibility that was ruled out by the Federal Justice with electoral jurisdiction.
Although Colombi did not present a list at the provincial level, A group of leaders who respond to him tried to challenge the “Let’s go radical” list headed by Valdés with different arguments.
Even though this presentation lacked support since the challengers had not presented a list and therefore are not part of the internal electoral process, the Electoral Board dedicated itself to the analysis and dismissal of each of the challenges presented.
Finally, the only list presented at the provincial level was made official and announced, and it is expected that in the next few hours progress will be made in the same direction in more than 50 municipalities where the district candidates who support Valdés did not have competition when presenting their candidacies. .
In about twenty municipalities, in which the Colombi list called “Radicals in action”, was able to present candidates, the schedule will advance until the elections are held on October 27.
