Primaries in Argentina on Sunday will provide a look into the electoral crystal ball about whether the opposition will have enough support to challenge ruling party candidate Daniel Scioli in his bid to avoid a run-off.
Argentines are obliged to vote in one of eight primaries to choose a candidate for each alliance. The primary that people choose to vote in will indicate which alliance and which candidate has the most support. Scioli says 30 percent would be a solid base, while opinion polls give him about 37 percent.
