- Mr Milei's proposals, such as scrapping the central bank and replacing the Argentine peso with the US dollar, appealed to voters looking for a radical approach to reverse Argentina's economic slump
- Mr Massa meanwhile focused much of his campaign on defending the current government's credentials
Massa of the ruling centre-left Union for the Homeland unexpectedly came in first place, winning 36% of the vote, against Milei of the right-wing Liberty Advances, who came in second place, with 30% of the vote.
LIn the first round, no candidate received the necessary majority, leading to a runoff on November 19 between Milei and Massa.
