19 days before the election, the radical Roberto Sánchez launched a strong accusation against the ruling party. The governor of Tucumán, Juan Manzur, announced that he "took the definition of declining" his candidacy for vice governor.
Miguel Acevedo, the current interior minister of the province, will take Manzur's place as candidate for governor in the PJ ticket of Tucuman. Gildo Insfrán is going for his eighth consecutive term: the PJ of Formosa formalized the candidacy of the governor.
