Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Argentine President Javier Milei's party suffered a provincial election loss, representing 40% of the South American nation's electorate, amid corruption allegations and opposition to his policies.
The populist and self-declared "anarcho-capitalist" is vowing to make changes after the "clear defeat," but not with his economic policy.
Milei, who was not on the ballot, assumed office on Dec. 10, 2023, in his four-term term. He can run for office again in 2027 and again in 2035.
On Sunday, his La Libertad Avanza Party received 34% of Argentina's biggest province, Buenos Aires, compared with the left-leaning Peronist opposition with 47%.
