The look in 2025

In the run-up to next year’s electoral assembly, the distance between the former president Cristina Kirchner and Governor Kicillof complicates the prediction of how the Peronist lists will be defined. In recent years, Máximo Kirchner, national deputy and leader of La Cámpora, had the pen when it came to preparing the payrolls, ensuring spaces for his representatives in each section.

From the sector that promotes the leadership of Kicillofinsist that the governor must participate at the decision-making table. They consider that reinforcing the presence of their own leaders on the ballots will not only guarantee governability, but will also strengthen a political front capable of confronting Javier Milei. For its part, the Renewal Front of Sergio Massa will demand its quota of representation in the legislative chambers.

At the same time, LLA is working hard on its provincial assembly to be able to go with its own candidates on the lists and avoid leaks, as happened in 2023. At that time, not having a party, Milei had to forge electoral alliances with the Democratic Party (PD). , Unión Celeste y Blanco (UCyB), Renovador Federal (RF) and Partido Fe and give up spaces on the payrolls, which resulted in some elected legislators later abandoning the libertarian space to form their own blocks in the Senate and the Buenos Aires Chamber of Deputies, separated from the libertarians.

Now, with its own seal, LLA plans to form lists made up exclusively of loyal leaders, avoid internal leaks and consolidate itself as a cohesive bloc after its electoral debut in 2023. In this context, the possibility of an alliance being formed in this jurisdiction with the PRO will depend on the macro agreement that they define -or not- Mauricio Macri and Milei.

In midterm elections, the ballot boxes usually function as a management thermometer. For Buenos Aires Peronism and, in particular, For Kicillof, the 2025 elections are decisive. The number of deputies and senators that he manages to incorporate into the Legislature will define whether he can face the last stretch of his mandate with sufficient support to approve key laws, such as the one that seeks to create a state health emergency company, the one that establishes the mandatory nature of the 3-year class in initial education, one to promote the audiovisual sector and the approval of budgets and debt requests.

Thus, the electoral outcome will be crucial to define the course of the next two years in the province and will lay the political foundations for the 2027 presidential race. Whether Kicillof manages to navigate the final stretch of his administration with stability and strength will depend on the result. parliamentary or if, on the contrary, it faces a broader and more belligerent opposition that complicates its administration in a scenario of growing fragmentation and polarization.
