There was an agreement within Peronism to create joint lists in the Province: the front will be called Fuerza Patria

After months of internal bickering, the breakdown in the relationship between Cristina Kirchner and Axel Kicillof , the former president's house arrest, which partly calmed the confrontations, the persistent mistrust, and lengthy meetings to discuss in detail a plan that would limit the scope for last-minute betrayals, the main Peronist leaders agreed to register a joint electoral front for the provincial elections on September 7.

The agreement was sealed in the third consecutive meeting between Kicillof, Máximo Kirchner, and Sergio Massa, with the former president monitoring the talks from the San José 1111 apartment, where she is serving house arrest. Once again at the Buenos Aires provincial government headquarters, the trio ironed out the main points of contention, although negotiations will continue intense and acrimonious for another ten days , until the deadline for submitting candidacies on Saturday the 19th. The coalition will be called Fuerza Patria (Force Homeland).

The conflicting sentiments, deepened by Kicillof's challenge to Cristina Kirchner's leadership and centrality, heightened the tensions that are common in the pre-election strife. Each sector was careful to limit the chances of the rest cutting themselves off when it came to compiling the lists . The governor was especially careful, given the history of previous electoral rounds, in which he was almost unable to field his own candidates.

In this context, the three Peronist leaders discussed in detail the front's internal regulations, the composition of the panel of representatives, and the Electoral Board. They also reached an agreement in principle, in general terms, on what each sector will share in the allocation of candidates. The criteria covered both the provincial elections in September and the national elections in October, with the aim of avoiding a rematch in the midst of the Buenos Aires campaign.

Kicillof sought to confirm a proxy system with representatives from each party and cross-signatures, so that their endorsement would be necessary for the officialization of the lists. The governor was considering reserving his own front or party in case the difficult path toward confluence was derailed.

"Everything must have the signature of all three. No one can move forward without taking everyone into account," confirmed one of the leaders who traveled to La Plata to sign the constitution of the joint alliance. The Electoral Board will be composed of Carlos Bianco—Buenos Aires Province's Minister of Government and Kicillof's right-hand man—Leonardo Nardini—Mayor of Malvinas Argentinas, aligned with Máximo Kirchner—and Buenos Aires Province legislator Rubén Eslaiman, representing Massa.

Beyond the party's registration, and should the agreement be ratified at the closing of the lists, the same protagonists acknowledged that internal disputes will persist and, at best, will be put on hold during the campaign. Kicillof proposed over the weekend to "leave differences for later," with the aim of easing tensions. Within Kirchnerism, this was taken as an acknowledgment that the leadership and the projection toward 2027 will not be resolved this year, as they understood the governor intended.

In addition to the three main parties, seats will have to be opened for Juan Grabois's Frente Patria Grande and other allies. Guillermo Moreno's Principios y Valores (Principles and Values) was incorporated into the alliance. Other parties that were already part of the alliance included Nuevo Encuentro (New Encounter), Frente Grande (Great Front), Unidad Popular (Popular Unity), Kolina (Commons Party), and the Partido de los Comunes (Common People's Party), as well as the PJ (Party of the People's Party) and the Frente Renovador (Renewal Front).

Among the discussions leading up to Saturday the 19th, they will have to define the candidates, especially in the Third Electoral Section, where Cristina Kirchner was expected to run, and in the First. This also applies to the municipalities, an area that presents the greatest difficulties. "There are very different realities in each district; it's one of the most difficult issues to resolve," one leader stated as night fell, although he discounted that it would not complicate the agreement: "It's a minor issue compared to the decision to run together."
