The recent election results have brought a surprise victory for La Libertad Avanza, with the party securing almost 41% of the national vote and gaining over 60 new seats in Congress.
This outcome has astonished pollsters, President Javier Milei, and Peronism alike, with the ruling party winning in key provinces such as Santa Fe and Córdoba, and overturning September's result in Buenos Aires Province.
The President's radicalisation is a danger that comes with this vote of confidence.
Diego Santilli's shock victory against his Peronist rival, Jorge Taiana, has also been a notable outcome, with Santilli turning around a 14-point deficit to win narrowly.
