Just three days after the lists close, the vice president Cristina Kirchner received this Wednesday in the Senate Juan Manzur in a meeting that unleashed all kinds of rumors about a hypothetical offer of a vice-presidential candidacy for the Tucuman governor.
The meeting in the office of the former president in the Upper House coincides with the appearance of posters in the vicinity of the National Congress with the legend “Juan Manzur President”signed by the La Rucci group.

“The strength of the interior unites us. Juan Manzur President”say the posters with white letters on a blue background, which papered some of the main arteries of downtown Buenos Aires such as Avenida de Mayo and Belgrano.
Days ago, the Tucuman had ventilated in journalistic statements that he had intentions of running for office: “I’m looking forward to applying”.

Does Juan Manzur dress up as a candidate?
The conclave with the vice president occurs in a hinge moment of definition of candidacieswith the clock running until next Saturday at midnight, when the deadline for the registration of the lists will expire.
Manzur could be running mate of Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro or Sergio Massathe favorites to head the presidential ballot that Cristina Kirchner will bless, although it has not yet been ruled out Axel Kicillof (who prefers to go for another mandate in the province of Buenos Aires).

According to this possible strategy, Manzur could pull the votes of the Norte Grande, taking into account his very good electoral performances in the province that he has governed since 2015.
Despite the fact that a court ruling excluded him from the candidacy for lieutenant governor, the president of Tucumán managed to guarantee his succession after the resounding victory of Osvaldo Jaldo by the former Front of All.
