Argentine Peso Lower as President Macri Beaten in Primaries

Share Print 0

Conservative Argentine President Mauricio Macri suffered a resounding defeat in primary elections on Sunday.

The primary, in which presidential candidates from all parties take part, was won by his left-wing rival, Alberto Fernández.

Mr Macri, whose austerity measures have turned many voters against him, is hoping to win a second term in office in the presidential poll on 27 October.

But analysts say his chances of beating Mr Fernández now look very slim.
