Argentina election: Macri out as Cristina Fernández de Kirchner returns to office as VP

Victory of Alberto Fernindez's presidential campaign puts an end to the pro-business economic policies of Macri's administration

In a dramatic comeback, Cristina Fernindez de Kirchner, one of Argentina's most popular presidents during her two terms in 2007-2015, has been voted back into office as vice president.

A large crowd of supporters burst into a roar outside the Frente de Todos (Everybody's Front) party bunker in the Chacarita neighbourhood of the capital city of Buenos Aires at 9pm when preliminary official results gave the victory to the centre left presidential candidate Alberto Fernindez and his running mate Fernindez de Kirchner.
