Vote counting is going really fast, 60% of votes counted so there could be an announcement sooner than 9pm. #Argentina #Decision23
Official announcement at 9pm (0000UTC) but looks as though the "libertarian" Milei will be elected President of #Argentina, defeating the incumbent Massa by around 6-7%. #Decision23
#Massa is going to make an announcement shortly.
Meanwhile celebrations and Gadsen (Don't Tread on Me) flags again at the Milei camp.
Clarification: Massa was Economy Minister, that's what I mean by "Incumbent", as in, he was associated with the failures of the Government he was in.
@davoloid could you please name a source? There is no official confirmation of this
@simdoes Watching TN (canal trece) on youtube and they relayed an announcement from the Casa Rosada. Massa coming on stage now.
@davoloid okay thank you. Because the last official press information is from 7:49PM that the Javier Milei party Talk about "good results". But nothing is confirmed now.
Yep, he's conceded. #Milei is President.
Screenshot from the TN stream. #massa saying "#Argentina has chosen this course, the responsibility for the security, welfare and economy of the country now lies with the new President." #Decision23
@davoloid nooooooo!!!
Electoral Officials saying that with the ballots counted already, Milei leads by 53% to 47%.
