Argentine President Javier Milei's La Libertad Avanza party won over 40% of votes in Sunday's midterm elections, securing a congressional majority that strengthens his free-market reforms after US President Donald Trump promised $40 billion in aid contingent on his ally's electoral success.
Milei’s ruling party will now hold almost half of the seats in the lower house of the Argentinian Congress, according to tallies in local media based on figures from electoral authorities, with more than 97% of votes counted.
