Pinamar: Juan Ibarguren of Juntos por el Cambio won the mayor’s office by a single vote

After a long recount of votes, where the Electoral Board of the Province of Buenos Aires asked to open 15 ballot boxes, the results of the final count were known, giving the candidate for mayor of Juntos por el Cambio, Juan Ibarguren, the winner with the difference of only one vote. In second place was the candidate of Union for the Fatherland, Gregorio Estanga, who had asked for the reopening of the polls after the difference of 19 votes in the first count was known. In that sense, the city of Pinamar was another of the places, along with La Plata and Bolívar, that did not have its elected mayor defined on the night of the elections in October.” In Pinamar today 15 ballot boxes were opened, which is 20% of the total, after a month of the election. An unprecedented case. In the recount we won by 1 vote. The importance of auditing is total. Congratulations Juan Ibarguren and Martín Yeza,” Cristian Ritondo announced from his X account On November 8, the judges had rejected the opening of ballot boxes demanded by the UxP candidate, but an appeal and a divided ruling made the National Electoral Chamber order the reopening of 15 ballot boxes on Thursday, November 23 to know the result. For his part, the mayor-elect posted on his social networks: “After a long process, the electoral authorities defined that I am the elected mayor of the Pinamar Party. In the next few days I will be communicating who will be the people who will accompany me in the team and the first management measures we will take to continue improving our city.” And then he concluded: “As I told you, I will always work every day so that Pinamar shines and offers development opportunities for everyone.”
