More than one million Salta residents were eligible to vote among 12 candidates for governor.


He closed the election in Salta, in which Governor Gustavo Sáenz seeks a victory to continue in office for another four years. Among the 11 opposition candidates, the Kirchnerist Emiliano Estrada in the previous one hoped to dispute the result, in a front with the space of Alfredo Olmedo. For Together for Change the candidate is the radical Miguel Nanni.

"It was a short but difficult campaign, we have been working for three and a half years in difficult times trying to solve people's problems. There is still much to be done. We have to leave hatred and grudges out," Saenz said when voting.

Former candidate for vice president of Sergio Massa in 2015, he is supported by a sector of Peronism and another integrates the Avancemos front, with the nomination of Estrada.

"I am convinced that we can represent the will to change. We received a campaign of fake news and hate. Society, in this context, needs love," Estrada, close to Wado de Pedro and with Carlos Zapata – national deputy of Together for Change and the provincial space of Olmedo – ratified his claims on Sunday.
