He was endorsed by the governor to run as his successor in 2011 on the Federal Commitment ticket,a center-right faction of the Justicialist Party whose strength is greatest in San Luis. He was thus elected governor,winning nearly 58% of the vote and defeating the runner-up,Front for Victory candidate Alfonso Vergés,by 32%. [2] His victory represented the eighth consecutive election won by a Rodríguez Saáor close ally since democracy was restored in Argentina in 1983;Poggi stressed his wish to maintain continuity in the province,one of Argentina's fastest growing,citing the Rodríguez Saáadministrations as "models to follow".
