President Donald Trump wrote: “The whole world was watching! I am very proud of you. You will turn your country around and truly Make Argentina Great Again.” With more than 99% of votes counted, Milei, who is often compared to Donald Trump, had secured 55.69% of the vote compared with 44.3% for his rival. The centre-left finance minister Sergio Massa, conceded.
During his campaign, Milei – who will take office on 10 December – vowed to abolish the central bank and dollarize the economy in order to overcome a financial calamity that has left 40% of Argentina’s 45 million citizens in poverty and pushed inflation to more than 140%.
