Reformist Bloc Extends Control in UBA Student Elections as Peronists Gain Ground

The outcome tilts student delegates ahead of choices for deans, then the next UBA rector.

Overview

  • Final counts across 13 faculties show the Frente Reformista keeping a clear lead, including lopsided wins in Odontology with about 91.8% and in Pharmacy and Biochemistry with about 81%.
  • Veterinary switched from a left-led center to AFV with roughly 47.2% against EVET at 36.2%, ending the organized left’s last faculty stronghold.
  • Peronist student groups expanded their footprint, taking a council seat in Engineering as El Gradiente reached about 24% and pushing to second place in Law with 39%.
  • The libertarian slate Somos Libres underperformed versus 2024 results and lagged in faculties where it fielded candidates.
  • These council seats feed into the university assembly that allocates student delegates to help choose deans and the next rector, a process unfolding during a funding fight with President Javier Milei’s government after a court paused a university-backed injunction on wage arrears and scholarships.
