Chaco: La Libertad Avanza and Zdero seal an alliance to stop Kirchnerism
Both political forces emphasized that this alliance seeks to 'strengthen the relationship with the national government.'
The governor of Chaco, Leandro Zdero, announced the formation of an alliance with La Libertad Avanza (LLA) for the legislative elections on May 11.
With this agreement, the Chaco UCR becomes the first to formalize a coalition with the libertarians.
A common front against Kirchnerism
Through his social media, Zdero confirmed the electoral pact with a strong message: "Today we take a huge step. A large group of Chaco residents represented by 'Chaco Puede' unify forces with La Libertad Avanza to face Kirchnerism and prevent its return to power."
The governor emphasized that the goal is "to stop the impoverishing policies" and consolidate a bloc that promotes "order and change." He also highlighted the importance of the alliance to ensure the execution of key projects, such as the Acueducto.
Support from La Libertad Avanza
From the libertarian sector, the president of LLA Chaco, Alfredo "Capi" Rodríguez, celebrated the agreement and assured that Zdero "is aligned with the ideas of President Javier Milei, who represents order and the fight against Kirchnerist policies that have harmed us so much."

In an official statement, both political forces emphasized that this alliance seeks to "strengthen the relationship with the national government" and assured that "it reflects the mandate for change chosen by the Chaco residents and Argentines."
"We unite in this political front all of us who believe we must put a definitive end to the old politics," they remarked from the governor's circle. Additionally, they highlighted that the strategy is focused on "defeating populism in the legislative elections on May 11 and achieving a majority in the Chaco Legislature."
Legislative elections and the political landscape in Chaco
Radicalism regained the government of Chaco in 2023, after 16 years of Peronist hegemony. At that time, Zdero won with 46.1% of the votes in the first round, surpassing Jorge Capitanich.
This year, the province will have split elections: local legislative elections will be held on May 11, while national elections will be on October 26, in accordance with the Chaco Constitution since its reform in 1994.
In this election, Chaco will renew:
- Three seats in the Senate: Currently, two belong to Unión por la Patria (Antonio Rodas and María Inés Pilatti Vergara) and one to the UCR (Víctor Zimmermann).
- Four seats in the National Chamber of Deputies.
- 16 of the 32 seats in the Chaco Legislature: Currently, 15 belong to the PJ, 15 to Juntos por el Cambio, and two to an independent sector led by Gustavo Martínez, former mayor of Resistencia.
With this alliance, Zdero seeks to consolidate a legislative majority that allows him governability and to prevent the return of Kirchnerism to power spaces in the province.
