Sources: 13. Developments: 2. Political landscapes in Argentina and Ecuador are undergoing shifts involving party reorganizations and electoral preparations. In Argentina, the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) in Buenos Aires faced internal division during a provincial convention in La Plata. While the party elected Pablo Nicoletti as president of the Honorable Provincial Convention under Emiliano Balbín, the ‘Construir’ sector withdrew, refusing to recognize the new leadership due to disputes over the composition of the Electoral Board and the vice presidency. In Ecuador, political movements are consolidating for upcoming elections. The Revolución Ciudadana and Unidad Popular organizations have formed an alliance for sectional elections, a notable development given their history of confrontation. Additionally, the National Electoral Council (CNE) has qualified 61 candidates for the Citizen Participation and Social Control Council (CPCCS) elections scheduled for November 29, 2026, after disqualifying 245 applicants for failing to meet necessary requirements. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-15: Regional political shifts emerge across Latin America and Spain Political landscapes shift across Latin America and Spain as candidates emerge for 2027 and 2030, and electoral bodies finalize candidate lists for upcoming regional and social control council elections. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/political-actors-prepare-for-2027-elections-amid-voter-disillusionment ### 2026-08-10: Political shifts in Argentina and Ecuador as parties split and form alliances Political shifts occur in South America as Argentina's UCR faces an internal split with the departure of the Construir sector, while Ecuador's Revolución Ciudadana and Unidad Popular form an unexpected alliance 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/political-shifts-in-argentina-and-ecuador-as-parties-split-and-form-alliances --- Cite as: Political developments in Argentina and Ecuador.
