Argentine Presidential Runner Scioli Votes

BUENOS AIRES — Argentinean presidential candidate Daniel Scioli cast his vote as polling stations opened for Sunday’s runoff election, which is seen as a referendum on the left-leaning policies of polarizing President Cristina Fernandez.

Scioli, the president’s chosen successor, said the election was about “what type of country” people wanted Argentina to be in the future.

Opposition leader Mauricio Macri, who campaigned on promises to bring large changes to Argentina‘s economy, went in as the front-runner after his unexpectedly strong showing in the 25 October first round that forced Sunday’s runoff against Scioli.
