As the governor of Argentina's most populous province (home to nearly two-fifths of the national population), the governor of Buenos Aires is and always has been a highly influential figure in the country's political scene.

The repeated inability of those in this position to become president of Argentina has been widely documented throughout history as a phenomenon known as the "Curse of Alsina."
