According to CNN News, Opposition
candidate Mauricio Macri is poised to become Argentina's next President
after a runoff vote that marks the end of a political dynasty.
"Thank
you for believing in me. ... I am here because you have decided," a
triumphant Macri said from his campaign headquarters Sunday night as
throngs of supporters erupted in cheers. "Today is a historic day," he said, "a new era."
Macri
spoke shortly after Daniel Scioli, Argentine President Cristina
Fernandez de Kirchner's hand-picked successor, conceded defeat.
With
more than 98% of votes counted, Macri of the Let's Change coalition had
won 51.4% of votes, while Scioli had garnered nearly 48.6%.
