OPPOSITION supporters rioted in Argentina on Monday after losing a gubernatorial election to the left-wing ruling Front for Victory (FPV) party.

The losers stole and burnt ballot boxes in northern Tucuman province after FPV candidate Juan Manzur won by a landslide.

Mr Manzur, a former health minister under President Cristina Kirchner, romped home with 54 per cent of the vote.

The opposition coalition candidate Jose Cano came second on about 40 per cent.

(Wonder why we didn't hear about this in right-wing owned U.S. corporate "news".)
