Chaco province will vote for its next governor on Sunday, with incumbent Governor Jorge Capitanich from the Peronist local coalition Frente Chaqueño as a frontrunner. However, his ties with the suspects of Cecilia Strzyzowski’s alleged femicide have had political repercussions that might affect his performance as they did in the primaries. In Chaco, gubernatorial candidates need at least 45% of the vote or 40% with a 10-point advantage to win the elections. The drop could be a consequence of Cecilia Strzyzowski’s disappearance and the ensuing media storm and political discontent.
