On October 28, 2019, Argentines voted for the next president. It was a close battle between presidential and vice-presidential hopeful Alberto Fernandez and Cristina Kirchner versus Mauricio Macri and his vice president, Miguel Angel Pichetto.

For those of you who don't know, Kirchner was the president for two terms before Macri won the last election.
In the end, Fernandez and Kirchner won the presidential election. You can get the 4-1-1 on the voting percentages here.
So, Kirchner is back, but this time as the vice president. However, some say she'll quietly be the one leading the presidency.
The newly elected president and his vice president will officially take over on December 10, 2019. This might explain why there haven't been any major change in the value of the Argentine peso versus United States dollar.
But I'll do one of my price comparison lists sometime in early 2020 to document any changes. In the meantime, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the economy might recover slightly and the cost of living will drop a bit with the shift in power.
