2015 Argentine Presidential Election Run-Off Sunday Nov 22,2015

Argentina will go to the polls on Sunday for a run-off election - the first in the country's history - after neither presidential candidate managed to win the initial vote outright. 

Daniel Scioli, the governor of Buenos Aires province, is up against Mauricio Macri, the city's mayor.
On the eve of the vote, centre-left candidate Mr Scioli lags behind his centre-right rival in the polls.

Daniel Scioli was marginally ahead in the first round, with 36.7% to 34.5%.

But under Argentinian law, a presidential candidate needs 45% of the vote or a minimum of 40% with a 10-point lead over the nearest rival to win outright.
