La Pampa thus joined the batch of provinces that already held elections in advance of the national calendar, such as Río Negro and Neuquén that voted in April, and Jujuy, La Rioja and Misiones that did so last Sunday.

On February 12, the province inaugurated the electoral schedule with the primaries that were characterized by a fierce internal struggle that shook Juntos por el Cambio.

Ziliotto was seen close to Fernández, but recently made agreements with leftist parties that criticized the national management. “Experience has shown us that it was not only to remove Macri, because Alberto Fernández came and the parliament ratified the agreement with the IMF. We need a popular will that votes to prevent the province from falling into the hands of these reactionaries,” they said in a communique the Labor and People’s Party (PTP) and the Revolutionary Communist Party (PCR) adding their support to the governor.
