Argentina election: Far-right candidate Javier Milei shakes up race with shocking primary win

Argentina’s shock primary election results saw far-right libertarian Javier Milei, who wants to axe the central bank and dollarize the economy, win the ballot. The rock-singing congressman shook up the race toward presidential elections in October by far outperforming forecasts to win over 30% of the vote, the largest share with over 90% of ballots counted. The result is a stinging rebuke to the center-left Peronist coalition and the main “Together for Change“ conservative opposition bloc with inflation at 116% and a cost-of-living crisis leaving four in 10 people in poverty.
