Chubut political shifts: Raúl Ferrero runs for Gaiman Mayor

Political movements in Chubut are adjusting to upcoming electoral shifts following the death of Gaiman Mayor Darío James. Raúl Ferrero, who has been serving as interim mayor, has confirmed his candidacy for the municipal election scheduled for December 13. Ferrero will run under the Despierta Chubut banner with the support of the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) to complete the current term ending in 2027.

In a related development, the PRO party in Chubut has unanimously decided to extend the mandates of its current provincial authorities for one year. Party president Martín Gómez stated that this decision aims to avoid internal leadership contests and prevent the diversion of resources during a critical period. The extension is intended to prioritize provincial governance and strengthen the electoral alliance with the UCR for the upcoming municipal elections.
