In recent local elections across Argentina, President Javier Milei’s party suffered sweeping losses—raising questions about his political standing and public support.

The electoral blow came against the backdrop of traditional Peronist parties regaining power in key provinces and municipalities.

Political analysts see this as a major setback for Milei, whose outsider appeal and libertarian platform are now facing public scrutiny.

The defeats may weaken his influence heading into broader midterms and reduce his leverage over future policy agendas, as reported by AP.

Supporters of Peronism hailed the results as a return to familiar governance, while Milei loyalists criticized the outcomes as a protest vote rather than rejection of his broader message.
