Sergio Uñac (born 15 February 1970) is an Argentine politician who serves as governor of the San Juan Province.
Sergio Uñac was born at Pocito on February 15, 1970. He is the son of the former mayor of Pocito Joaquín Uñac and he is of Lebanese descent by his mother side. [1] He attended primary school at the Antonino Aberastain school, and ended high school education in 1987. He studied law at the National University of Córdoba and graduated as a lawyer in 1994. He was a member of the Juventud Universitaria Peronista during that time. [2]
He was elected mayor of Pocito in 2003, and was re-elected in 2007. He became vicegobernor in 2011, under José Luis Gioja. When Gioja was hospitalised following a plane crash, Uñac became the new interim governor on October 11, 2013. He led the state funeral for deputy Margarita Ferrá de Bartol, who died in the plane crash, and asked the population to stay calm and continue working as usual, despite the unprecedented event in the province. During his tenure he faced union requests from the vintners and medics. He negotiated with Barrick Gold in November, to prevent the corporation from leaving its operations in San Juan. In December, he dealt with police revolts, solved by increasing the police's wages. Gioja was rehabilitated on February 8, 2014, after 121 days of Uñac in government. [3]
Unable to run for a new term, Gioja proposed Uñac as the new governor, in light of the good results of his brief tenure as interim governor. He was elected governor in the 2015 elections. [2] His victory was well received by the mining and wine production sectors of the province. [4]

Events from the year 2011 in Argentina.
General elections were held in Argentina on 25 October 2015 to elect the President and National Congress, and followed primary elections which were held on 9 August 2015. A second round of voting between the two leading candidates took place on 22 November, after surprisingly close results forced a runoff. On the first runoff voting ever held for an Argentine Presidential Election, Buenos Aires Mayor Mauricio Macri narrowly defeated Front for Victory candidate and Buenos Aires Province Governor Daniel Scioli with 51.34% of votes. Macri's vote count of nearly 13 million votes made it the highest number of votes any candidate has ever received in Argentinian history, until Javier Milei obtained over 14 million votes in the second round of the 2023 presidential election. He took office on 10 December, making him the first freely elected president in almost a century who was not either a Radical or a Peronist.
