CFK chosen Peronist Party Chairwoman

The Justicialist (Peronist) Party's (PJ) Electoral Board Tuesday confirmed former two-time President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (CFK) as the new party chairwoman after no other contender challenged her "Primero La Patria" list following the dismissal of La Rioja Governor Ricardo Quintela's bid for allegedly lacking the necessary endorsements. CFK won by 13 votes to 1.
