Peronism eyes PASO suspension, weighs 2027 primary contenders

Argentina's Peronist coalition (PJ) believes it has the votes in Congress to suspend the PASO primaries, a move that would reshape the 2027 electoral calendar. With Cristina Fernández de Kirchner out of the race, internal competition is emerging among Axel Kicillof, Sergio Massa, and provincial governors Gerardo Zamora and Sergio Uñac, who maintain ties to the former president. The outcome is uncertain as the legislative arithmetic and candidate positioning remain fluid.
