PRO party political positioning for 2027 elections

Overview

In early September 2026, former Vice President Gabriela Michetti called for the PRO party to reclaim its political identity to prepare for the 2027 elections. Michetti emphasized the necessity of establishing a profile distinct from Javier Milei’s La Libertad Avanza (LLA) and endorsed Hernán Lacunza as a presidential candidate, noting that Mauricio Macri has expressed support for Lacunza’s intentions.

By late September, Lacunza began consolidating a political team for his potential candidacy. He has met with provincial PRO leaders and legislators, including former Buenos Aires Governor María Eugenia Vidal and La Rioja leader Julio Sahad, to advocate for the party to run an independent list rather than forming an alliance with LLA. While Lacunza claims to have the backing of Mauricio Macri, the former president has not yet issued a public endorsement.
