Under her, Argentina renewed contacts with the International Monetary Fund after years of hostility and moved to renew negotiations over paying Argentina's debts to the Paris Club of lender nations. But Evita was never elected. In October - two years after her election and three years after the death of her husband - she was forced to take a month off work because of her own ill-health, after being diagnosed with bleeding in the brain.
However, she recovered from surgery and went on to serve another two years as president. In she was defeated by Mauricio Macri, who was then the centre-right mayor of Buenos Aires.
Four years later, in April , she released her autobiography Sinceramente. In that book, she addressed the allegations made against her. But some are holding their breath to see if she will assume greater prominence in the new government, said Ilya Gofshteyn, a senior emerging markets strategist at Standard Chartered Bank in New York.
The ex-president is loved and hated in almost equal measure by voters too. Carlos Berenguer, a year-old retiree, on his way out of the polls in Buenos Aires, said he hoped Cristina would set the tone for the new government. The results reflected her declining popularity as well as that of her husband, who lost his race for a congressional seat.
