At 8 in the morning, and with no major inconvenience other than a few specific delays, the elections for governor began in Tucumana process that was taking place normally following a few weeks ago it was postponed by the Supreme Court that frustrated the presentation of the former chief of staff Juan Manzur.
“We are very confident, the people of Tucuman have already seen me rule…”, Jaldo told the journalists who were waiting for him at a school in the town of Trancas.
On this occasion, in addition to being governor, the 1,309,648 Tucumans enabled they will also choose vice, 49 legislators, 19 mayors, councilors for different cities and 93 rural commissioners.
The current lieutenant governor Osvaldo Jaldo, who is a candidate for governor for the ruling party together with the province’s Minister of the Interior, Miguel Acevedo, was one of the first to vote at around 9:33 a.m. and, following depositing his vote in the ballot box, assured that “promises to recommit” that he already has as an official in Tucumán.
“I have been fulfilling the role of lieutenant governor and, when Juan Manzur had to be chief of staff, I was governing the province 513 days. Tucumans already know, they have seen me governthey saw me work, they saw me make important decisions,” said Jaldo, who cast his vote at General Bartolomé Miter School No. 8, in the city of Trancas.
In this sense, he remarked: “I can commit myself to to reaffirm all that work that we have been doing, to consolidate everything that this management did, to change what we did not do well out there and to make all the decisions that remain to reach the places and families where we have not yet been able to do so”.

The candidate for governor, who went to the polls in the company of his wife, Ana María Grillo, and their daughters, also assured that “an electoral process is taking place with complete normality in the province” and added the commonplace of “We hope it will be a true celebration of democracy.”.
“We Tucumans have the honor and responsibility to exercise our right to vote, and in this way express our ideals and hopes at the ballot box. The large turnout at this time of the morning is a positive indicator of our people’s commitment to democracy,” the lieutenant governor said at the same time via Twitter.
It should be remembered that, originally, the elections in Tucumán should have been held on May 14, but it was not possible to meet the agreed date given that the Supreme Court issued a precautionary measure that suspended the electionsfollowing a complaint once morest the candidacy of Juan Manzur as Jaldo’s running mate.
Immediately followingwards, Manzur got off the formula for the governorship from Tucumán and left his place to Miguel Acevedo. In this way, the highest court rehabilitated the electoral process in an election where, despite the displacement of the official, the ruling party continues to position itself as the favorite among voters.
In this scenario, the official formula, Jaldo-Acevedo, faces the opposition list of Together for Change, headed by the radical national deputy Roberto Sanchez. This postulates the mayor of San Miguel de Tucumán, German Alfaroto lieutenant governor and has the support of the Buenos Aires head of government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
At the same time, there is also interest in knowing the accompaniment achieved by liberalism in Javier Miley, which presents Ricardo Bussi, son of the repressor, as a candidate for governor, along with provincial legislator Gerardo Huesen. The formula is representing the Fuerza Republicana party, founded by the military Antonio Bussi, convicted of crimes once morest humanity.

The rest of the political forces present in the dark room in Tucumán are Free South (Federico Masso-Florencia Guerra); left front (Martín Correa and Alejandra Arreguez); Labor Policy (Raquel Grassino and Luis Toranzo) and Change unites us (Juan Coria and Liliana Guzman).
In total, they present 17,943 candidates to fill the 347 positions that are disputed in the province. The high number is due to the fact that in Tucumán the “coupling” system works, which allows applicants for executive positions to “add coupled” to their ballots.
Likewise, the province is one of the 18 jurisdictions that resolved unfold your choices in relation to the national vote, so the citizens of Tucumán might have to go to the polls up to four times this year. If Peronism wins in this context, the force would prolong its hegemony exercised since 1983 with the exception of a single term.
