ARGENTINA: 11 July UPDATE: Macri Wins But NOT Enough To Avoid Run-off In B.A. Mayoral Contest.

MERCOPRESS


Incumbent Buenos Aires Mayor Mauricio Macri won Sunday's election with an impressive 47.1%...but still not enough to escape a 31 July second round run-off.


President Cristina Fernandez's hand-picked candidate Sen. Daniel Filmus garnered only 27.8% against CFK's most dedicated opponent Mauricio Macri (right).


The conservative Macri is seeking a second term and President CFK has involved herself personally in the campaign to ensure his defeat.
