Argentina running mate presented
Argentina's first lady and presidential candidate, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, has introduced her running mate for the 28 October vote.
She is currently ahead in opinion polls and if elected would become Argentina's first elected woman president.
"This man that is seated there who is the Argentinean president, when he started his presidency he decided that the story must be changed and every man and women must be summoned."
Mr Kirchner is credited with bringing Argentina back from the brink of economic collapse since he took office.
From the start, Ms Fernandez, who is also senator for Buenos Aires, has sought to link herself closely to his management of the economy, says the BBC's Will Grant, in Buenos Aires.
She has promised jobs and economic security.
"I know that you are used to men but it's good to get accustomed to women too."
"It's Presidenta, get used to it: Presidenta," she told a crowd of several thousand supporters at Luna Park in Buenos Aires.
