In the last ten years, Kirchnerism, the most influential political force in recent years in Argentina, has experienced a sharp loss of support at the polls.
Of the six national elections held between 2015 and 2025, Kirchnerism, together with Peronism, managed to prevail in only one: the 2019 presidential election, with the embattled Alberto Fernández and the corrupt Cristina Fernández de Kirchner leading the "Frente de Todos".
The other contests, both presidential and legislative, were tough defeats, consolidating a trend of political decline that contrasts with its traditional electoral dominance.
Five defeats and one victory
The sequence of results began in 2015, when they were defeated in the runoff by former president Mauricio Macri, then leader of Cambiemos. That election marked the end of 12 consecutive years of Kirchnerist governments and the beginning of a new political cycle in the country.
Two years later, in the 2017 legislative elections, the Macri administration once again prevailed in most key districts, including Buenos Aires province, where the list headed by Esteban Bullrich defeated Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who was running for senator for Unidad Ciudadana. The fragmentation of Peronism into different provincial expressions and the lack of national leadership contributed to that defeat.
