Incumbent president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of the Front for Victory won in a landslide, with 54% of the vote, securing a second term in office. The Front for Victory won just over half of the seats in the National Congress. Mercosur Parliamentarians were also popularly elected for the first time. Another novelty was the introduction of open, simultaneous and mandatory primaries. These took place 14 August 2011 to select the candidates of each political party or coalition.es Ley de Democratización de la Representación Política, la Transparencia y la Equidad Electoral Presidential campaign thumb|Ballots used in the primary elections on 14 August. The nation's myriad parties forged seven coalitions, of which five became contenders for a possible runoff election: Front for Victory: the ruling party, led by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and allies, including the New Encounter.http://m24digital.com/2011/06/14/sabbatella-y-el-fpv-tendran-una-misma-lista-de-diputados-en-la-provincia/ Sabbatella y el FPV tendrán una misma lista de diputados en la Provincia M24 Digital dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110618140837/http://m24digital.com/2011/06/14/sabbatella-y-el-fpv-tendran-una-misma-lista-de-diputados-en-la-provincia/ 18 June 2011 The FPV is mostly based on the center-left Justicialist Party (PJ) factions that support the current government. Federal Peronism, or Dissident Peronism: centrist or conservative PJ figures opposed to the government and allies, including the Republican Proposal. This coalition remained divided between Eduardo Duhalde's Popular Front and Alberto Rodríguez Saá's Federal Commitment both before and after the August primaries. Union for Social Development: the Radical Civic Union (UCR), led by Congressman Ricardo Alfonsín, and allies, which initially included Federal Peronist Francisco de Narváez. Broad Progressive Front: the Socialist Party, led by Governor Hermes Binner, and allies, including GEN and the New Party. Proyecto Sur had briefly joined this coalition. Civic Coalition: the party, led by Congresswoman Elisa Carrió, had been part of the Civic and Social Agreement, but separated from the latter in August 2010.http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1293981 Con más críticas, Carrió se aleja del Acuerdo Cívico La Nación 30 May 2011 23 December 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141223070312/http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1293981-con-mas-criticas-carrio-se-aleja-del-acuerdo-civico dead Other coalitions of note include the Workers' Left Front, led by Jorge Altamira, and Proyecto Sur, led by Pino Solanas; the latter left the Socialist Party-led coalition and instead formed an alliance with the MST and the PSA.http://m24digital.com/2011/06/16/movimiento-proyecto-sur-se-fracciono-entre-binner-y-pino-solanas/ Movimiento Proyecto Sur se fraccionó entre Binner y Pino Solanas M24 Digital dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110711213549/http://m24digital.com/2011/06/16/movimiento-proyecto-sur-se-fracciono-entre-binner-y-pino-solanas/ 11 July 2011 The Civic and Social Agreement was an alliance between the UCR and most of what became the Progressive Ample Front and the Civic Coalition, with other, minor allies.

Radical Civic Union The center-left Radical Civic Union had scheduled primaries for 28 April. Both Ricardo Alfonsín, son of the late former President Raúl Alfonsín, and current party leader Ernesto Sanz started pre-candidacy campaigns; Sanz, however, dropped out on 28 April. Vice President Julio Cobos, considered a likely UCR primary candidate, had stated his intention to run only in August, during the coalition primaries; he dropped out in April as well. The UCR and the Socialist Party (partners in the Civic and Social Agreement) parted ways in May 2011, with Alfonsín and Santa Fe Governor Hermes Binner running on separate slates for the primaries in August, and likely in the general election, as well. Alfonsín secured an alliance with Federal Peronist candidate Francisco de Narváez in Buenos Aires Province,http://elrecado.net/politica/5020-de-narvaez-seria-el-gobernador-de-alfonsin de Narváez sería el gobernador de Alfonsín El Reacado 4 June 2011 2 April 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120402011506/http://elrecado.net/politica/5020-de-narvaez-seria-el-gobernador-de-alfonsin usurped De Narváez ran for governor with his senior partner's endorsement in return for his support for Alfonsín's presidential campaign.
