TL;DR Summary

Argentina is holding a general election on Sunday to choose a new president, vice president, members of the National Congress, and provincial governors. The main presidential candidates include Javier Milei, a far-right populist leader advocating for radical economic policies; Patricia Bullrich, a former security minister from the centre-right coalition; and Sergio Massa, the current minister of economy and the main candidate for the governing Peronist coalition. The outgoing president, Alberto Fernandez, is not running for re-election. The key issues in the election include the struggling economy, high inflation, international debt, trade deals, climate change, and the future of abortion rights. Polls suggest Milei is leading, but a runoff election is expected if no candidate secures 45% of the vote or a 10-point lead.
