Milei will await the vote in Olivos while preparing the new cabinet.
Pending the election results, Javier Milei will spend most of his time at his official residence in Olivos, having returned by land from Rosario on Thursday following the closing of the La Libertad Avanza campaign.
The President met yesterday with JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon in a significant meeting amid U.S. aid.
During those hours, one topic hovers over the president's immediate future: the formation of his new cabinet, which he himself announced will undergo changes for the second half of his term.
In that scheme, there are already three certain changes: those involving the departures to Congress of Patricia Bullrich, Secretary of Security, and Luis Petri , Secretary of Defense. Meanwhile, Mariano Cúneo Libarona will leave the Justice portfolio.
The fourth change, which involved Gerardo Werthein's departure from the Palacio San Martín, has already been finalized, with Pablo Quirno replacing him. Most of the Libertarian ranks had never fully accepted Werthein.
On Sunday, the president is expected to leave his official residence twice. In the morning, he will vote at the Medrano campus of the National Technological University (UTN). And in the evening, he will head to the Libertador Hotel on Córdoba Avenue in Buenos Aires, where the Libertarians will have their booth to monitor the results. It is the same location they used in the 2023 elections that brought the Libertarian leader to the presidency and last May, when they won first place in the legislative elections for the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
It will be the culmination of a campaign that Milei spearheaded with appearances in various parts of the country, including Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Mendoza, and Córdoba.
The figure of the President played a central role for libertarian aspirations, aware that they were competing with many unknown candidates.
Once she casts her vote at the UTN, Milei will return to Olivos to continue her vote on Sunday in the privacy of her villa. She will then leave that evening to await the national results.
During the last election, Milei remained in seclusion, in the tranquility of the place. He read, ate lunch, and around 8 p.m. left for the bunker , which this time was in Gonnet.
The full Cabinet is expected to be present at the libertarian bunker. Other PRO leaders are also expected to be there.
At the Libertador, there are also those who foresee a new meeting like the one that took place in the La Plata bunker during the Buenos Aires elections, when Milei met with three of his most trusted figures: his sister and Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei; the minister and candidate, Patricia Bullrich ; and advisor Santiago Caputo. This took place before taking the stage and to outline the message he would deliver after the crushing defeat. The "violetas" believe that this meeting between the president and three of his most trusted figures was "fundamental" to that speech, in which the libertarian took note of what had happened and "looked forward," according to the Libertarian command.
The Libertarian party is hopeful about the possibility of victories in Salta, Entre Ríos, and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. They also believe there could be a "close" outcome in Chaco, and in Córdoba, they risk coming in "behind the curve" and "depending on how Natalia De la Sota fares."
Meanwhile, they estimate that in Santa Fe, the sworn-in candidates are "even" with the Justicialist Party, and in the province of Buenos Aires, they claim that the numbers place them between 8 and 9 points behind Peronism.
"From below, but with an upward trend," they repeated in the hours leading up to the end of the campaign and before the start of the ban this Friday morning.
