Argentina’s Peronists swept back into power on Sunday, ousting conservative president Mauricio Macri in an election result that shifts Latin America’s No. 3 economy firmly back toward the left after it was battered by economic crisis.

Presidential candidate Alberto Fernandez and running mate former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner celebrate after election results in Buenos Aires, Argentina October 27, 2019.

“The times ahead are not easy,” he told cheering supporters at his election party. “But of course we will collaborate in everything we can, because the only thing that concerns us is that Argentines stop suffering once and for all.” Fernandez had been the heavy favorite since winning a landslide victory in primaries in August. He extended that lead in pre-election opinion polls.

Macri supporter José Luis Salomón, the mayor of farming town Saladillo, said: “What’s in play in this election are simply two opposing views of the country.”
