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.
