Fernando de la Rua was elected mayor of Buenos Aires, trouncing Argentinian President Carlos Menem's Peronist party. It was the first time that the mayor had been elected, rather than named by the President.

Some believe that Mr de la Rua, a member of the conservative Radical Party and currently a senator, may use the post as a trampoline to launch his own presidential bid in 1999.
