The election results are in, and Argentine hopeful Alfonso Prat-Gay slipped from his expected 2nd position to come in third at the end.
Unión-PRO centre-right party Gabriela Michetti wins the congressional elections in Buenos Aires City with 31.08 percent of the votes. Fernando "Pino" Solanas of the leftist Proyecto Sur party comes in second place with 24.25 percent of the votes, while Alfonso Prat-Gay of the opposition-centre Social and Civic Accord comes in third place with 18.88 percent.Just thought you'd like to know...
Interesting the number of Italian names (Michetti) in Argentina. Someone once commented that the Argentines are Spanish-speaking Italians who like to act British.
But Prat-Gay's name suggests that his forebears were Catalans.

Perhaps he is acting British, and changed his name after an overdose of Monty Python one weekend?
