ARGENTINA
Buenos Aires takes step to right

Argentina's capital rejected a candidate for mayor backed by leftist President Nestor Kirchner on June 24, electing a conservative businessman who heads the nation's most popular soccer team, Boca Juniors.

Kirchner remains popular across Argentina, but the election win in Buenos Aires by Mauricio Macri suggested a possible shift in political sentiment ahead of October presidential elections.

A Kirchner ally also unexpectedly lost a governor's race in Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost province of Argentina.

In Buenos Aires, the 48-year-old Macri had 61 percent support compared to 39 percent for Kirchner's former education minister, Daniel Filmus, with 90 percent of votes counted. At that point, Filmus conceded defeat.
