The presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, will be the candidate for La Libertad Avanza, the party of President Javier Milei, for the local elections in the City of Buenos Aires.
According to confirmations from the Casa Rosada, Karina Milei's trusted man will lead the list of legislators in the elections scheduled for May 18.
Adorni's name had been gaining traction for weeks, especially since the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Jorge Macri, decided to separate the Buenos Aires elections from the national ones. The major bet of the ruling party in 2025 is to challenge PRO for control of the district that it has managed for the last 18 years.
The spokesperson himself had indicated in recent interviews that he would have no issues running if the President required it. "I'll be in the role he assigns me. I'll support the ideas. If he asks me for something, I have to comply or go home," he stated in a conversation with TN.
