In Mendoza, the Peronist Party (PJ) underwent a shift in internal power during a provincial congress. A faction led by several mayors defeated Kirchnerist representatives in the election for the Electoral Board, which is responsible for overseeing candidate lists and election regulations through 2027.

While the current leadership reported a victory margin of 64 to 44, Kirchnerist representatives disputed the outcome, claiming the margin was 58 to 51. Despite these disputes and friction between the mayoral faction and groups such as La Cámpora, the congress unanimously approved agenda items, including the designation of party authorities and gender parity adjustments for the Disciplinary Tribunal. Celso Jaque, the Mayor of Malargüe, noted that the party’s primary challenge remains achieving unity for the 2027 elections.
