So, in their recent election, half the Chamber of Deputies and one-third of the Senate was up for election. The elections would have been held towards the end of the year, but they have been brought forward.br /br /The a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_legislative_election,_2009" results /a show that President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's Front for Victory topped the poll but lost its overall majority. It got about 31% of the votes and is likely to have 113 seats in the 257 member Chamber of Deputies. It has 36 - exactly half the seats - in the Senate.br /br /The left-leaning 'Social and Civic Agreement' alliance (also known as the Civic Coalition) got 29% and will have 77 seats in the new Chamber of Deputies. The right-leaning Republican Proposal got 18.5% and 26 seats. What are described as 'dissident Peronists', opposed to the Kirchener family [Cristina's presidential term was preceded by her husband's], got 6.2% of the vote and 17 seats in the Chamber.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38622711-6268737778678744802?l=vinospoliticalblog.blogspot.com'//div
