In the mayoral election, former prosecutor Aníbal Ibarra, of the Alliance, won in the first round of voting with 49.30% of the vote. According to the city's constitution, a candidate for Chief of Government must achieve over 50% of the vote in order to win in the first round, and thus Ibarra should have gone on to face the second-most voted candidate, former economy minister Domingo Cavallo of Action for the Republic. Cavallo had initially angrily denied the first round's results, which he called "a fraud". However, following backlash against his comments from other candidates, he dropped out of the race for the second round and ceded victory to Ibarra.https://www.clarin.com/politica/cavallo-acuso-alianza-irregularidades-escrutinio_0_ByEcxjeRYg.html Clarín Cavallo acusó a la Alianza por irregularidades en el escrutinio 8 May 2000 24 March 2025 eshttps://www.clarin.com/politica/caras-cavallo_0_rJCWSljlAKl.html Clarín Las tres caras de Cavallo 10 May 2000 24 March 2025 es This was only the second general election in the City of Buenos Aires and the first since the adoption of the 1996 Constitution.
