Silvia Lospennato will not be able to vote for herself this Sunday for an unusual reason.

Silvia Lospennato , a national representative for the PRO party and candidate for Buenos Aires City legislator, will seek entry into the Buenos Aires City Legislature next Sunday, although she already knows she won't be able to count on her own vote. However, the other representatives of Mauricio Macri 's party will go to schools to cast their votes in the 2025 Buenos Aires City elections .

The problem is that the leader is still representing the province of Buenos Aires in the Chamber of Deputies and still maintains her domicile in that district. This means that since she doesn't have a domicile in the City of Buenos Aires, despite being a candidate there, she isn't listed on the electoral roll to vote this weekend and won't have the traditional photo of the candidate leaving the voting booth.

Silvia Lospennato re-elected her seat in the House of Representatives in 2023, joining the ticket headed by Cristian Ritondo , president of the PRO bloc. Although she was born in Buenos Aires City, she made the jump in 2015 to replace journalist Fernando Niembro in the province. Thus, the PRO is preparing for a busy day in one of the most closely contested elections in recent years.

Even though she's not on the electoral roll, Lospennato will have her photo next to the ballot box . The PRO press team called the media to Café Tortoni at 8:15 a.m. for the candidate to give her statement and take the photo, according to NA. This location is emblematic for Buenos Aires City and also for the Macri camp, where they often meet for breakfast during election days.

Macri's choice to be the face of the yellow party in the City will face one of the most complex elections for the party since its arrival in Buenos Aires in 2007. If she performs poorly, PRO will lose control of the Legislature entirely, and the candidate who will take over could be Kirchnerism, led by Leandro Santoro, whom Mauricio Macri predicts will be the winner.

This would be a severe blow to the PRO party, especially considering that if they formed an alliance with LLA, they would be able to retain their power in the Legislature. Now, the Violet Party is running with Manuel Adorni at the top of their ticket and believes they will have a strong election, adding several legislators and establishing themselves as a new force in the City of Buenos Aires.
