Saiz was elected governor of the province in 2003, defeating Carlos Soria.

President Kirchner considered backing Saiz at the expense of his own party, though ultimately opted to play no role in the provincial election.〔 Saiz won re-election over Pichetto by around 5% with the support of various leftist parties, and his membership in the UCR was subsequently suspended by the party committee.〔(''Territorio Digital'' )〕 ==External links== *(Río Negro Province ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miguel Saiz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
