The governor of
La Rioja, Ricardo Quintela, confirmed that his province will unfold the electoral calendar and vote separately from the 2023 presidential elections.
Thus, the date on which the people of La Rioja will elect their governor will be next May 7.
"We made the decision to advance the elections as a result of a contribution from colleagues, who even saw it as necessary to
work strongly in the national order, unrelated to the provincial
one ," argued Quintela.
"First we want to resolve the provincial election and
then dedicate ourselves to contributing to the Nation
, with a single policy and a common strategy to face the upcoming electoral process," added the governor in dialogue with Ámbito Financiero.
“We have decided
to call elections for May 7
, possibly on Monday it will be published in the official gazette and in the two local newspapers.
Elections would be called for governor, vice president and all the positions in dispute: mayors, councilors, ”he commented.
Thus,
the date will coincide with the provincial elections of Jujuy and Misiones,
other provinces that have already decided to separate their elections from the national vote.
Tierra del Fuego could be added to this list, where Governor Gustavo Melella hopes to finalize some details to confirm the overtaking.
Quintela also confirmed that he has in mind going for his re-election, although he clarified that he will not condition any candidate who wants to go to contest the space.
"I will go for my re-election, but without conditioning anyone.
If someone wants to run, they can run the same. It is what the Constitution allows me: a re-election," said the Peronist president.
Quintela is the latest in a list of Peronist governors who have decided to run in separate elections from the presidential election in October.
Formosa, Catamarca, Buenos Aires and Santa Cruz are the only districts commanded by the PJ that have not yet defined the date on which the vote will take place.
