President Javier Milei’s La Libertad Avanza (LLA) was the most voted electoral front in Argentina’s 2025 midterm elections with 40.8% with 91% of the vote counted at a national level, a landslide victory for the government. The percentage means LLA will comfortably get a third of the Lower House seats, a key threshold for blocking opposition bills and backing presidential decrees.

Argentines voted to renew half of the Lower House (127 out of 257) and a third of the Senate (24 out of 72).

LLA will gain 64 new seats in the lower house, taking its total to 92 after adding the 28 deputies it had. This number is well above the threshold of 84 deputies needed to make up a third of the chamber. This will make the libertarian bloc the largest, surpassing Peronism. 

Along with its ally, the right-wing party PRO, which will have 25 deputies by December, it will be considerably easier for the government to move its agenda forward. Nevertheless, the libertarians will have to continue negotiating with other blocs in Congress for the next two years, as the 2027 presidential election will also include a partial renovation of lawmakers.

LLA ran as part of a coalition with PRO, which granted the ruling party a significant electoral boost. In........
