  • Mauricio Macri, the conservative opposition challenger won Argentina's presidential election.

    This win will bring to an end more than 10 years of "free-spending leftist populism with a promise to open up the ailing economy to investors."

    Argentines welcomed Macri's pledges to expand Latin America's third largest economy and weed out corruption.

    Macri won 51.5 percent of the vote in the elections.

    He promised to work to remedy the "slow growth driven by unsustainable spending, inflation which was well above 20 percent and capital controls that have backfired to leave foreign reserves at nine-year lows."

    It also proclaimed to end Argentina's messy debt default that is hampering passage to international credit markets.

    In order to be allowed to run in the main elections, the parties had to secure 1.5% or higher of the vote count in primary elections.

    The third place was secured by Sergio Massa.
