The final scrutiny in the province of San Juan determined that Union por la Patria has two seats for a national senator and not one as the provisional count on election Sunday night had marked.
In this unexpected way, the camper Maria Celeste Gimenez will take office as the new national senator starting in December and Unión por la Patria will have a bench of 35 members, just two short of its own quorum.
The provisional count, with 95.02% of the tables counted, had indicated an advantage in favor of La Libertad Avanza in said category of 762 votes over Unión por la Patria, a result that granted two seats to La Libertad Avanza and only one for the ruling party.

As if that were not enough, Unión por la Patria will be able to count on the contribution of allied senators from other blocks, such as the Rio Negro Monica Silva and the two elected Missionary Concord Front.
