President Javier Milei's La Libertad Avanza party secured a significant victory in Argentina's legislative elections held on Sunday, October 26th, 2025. The results, which began to emerge after polls closed at 9 p.m. UTC and were largely consolidated by 1:15 AM UTC on October 27th, mark a substantial win for Milei's party, described as a historic defeat for Kirchnerism. Throughout the reporting window from 10:45 PM UTC on October 26th to 1:15 AM UTC on October 27th, La Libertad Avanza consistently led in national vote counts, with early official results showing 40.8% of the vote compared to Fuerza Patria's 24.5% at 12:05 AM UTC, according to user "agusantonetti." Specific provincial results indicated La Libertad Avanza winning 40.70% of the votes in Santa Fe, securing 4 seats, while Fuerza Patria obtained 28.67% and 3 seats. In Córdoba, Milei's party achieved 42.4% of the votes. The party also led in CABA (City of Buenos Aires) with 47% of the votes. These legislative elections saw the election of 24 senators and 127 national deputies. Reports suggest that Javier Milei's party is projected to win the most seats in the Chamber of Deputies. Social media reactions from figures like Mercedes Schlapp and Rasmussen_Poll celebrated the victory, framing it as a defeat of communism and a mandate for a free-market revolution. Despite the overall success for La Libertad Avanza, some races remained tight. In Río Negro, with nearly 4% of votes still to be counted as of 12:40 AM UTC, a difference of less than a thousand votes was determining whether Fuerza Patria would take two senatorial seats over La Libertad Avanza. In Tucumán, the Tucumán First Front led with 50.39% of the votes, while LLA garnered 35.39% with 97% of tables scrutinized. In separate developments, previous reports indicated that international betting markets showed a strong surge for La Libertad Avanza as polls closed on October 26th. Concerns about historically low voter participation had been noted throughout the day, with turnout at 58.5% by 5:00 PM UTC, significantly lower than in 2021. This context highlights the significance of the mandate Milei's party received despite participation levels.
