After the poor results obtained in the primary elections last August, UDESO presidential candidate Ricardo Alfonsín seemed resigned to a similar outcome in the general elections, although he urged the population to “vote for the local candidates.”
While campaigning in the San Juan province he explained he was not “upset” by campaigns that suggest combining candidates from different parties.
“If you don’t want to vote for me, then don’t. Many have already decided not to vote for me. However, I do ask that you vote for your local candidates,” he stated.
He also assured there are some who “claim we have taken offense because some candidates have told this to the voters. Let me tell you, I’m not offended. In fact that’s my advice to you. Vote for the local candidates so you can add balance, control and more democracy to the country, something that we need,” he said.
Alfonsín was joined by gubernatorial candidate Rodolfo Colombo, and other provincial candidates.
