BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- Argentina's two leading presidential candidates entered the second round of the presidential election on late Sunday, sharing 73.84 percent of the votes counted.
Conservative opposition candidate Mauricio Macri had a slight lead over ruling Victory Front candidate Daniel Scioli, with 35.79 percent of the votes versus 35.11 percent, respectively.
The results pointed to a runoff on Nov. 22 to decide the final winner, as Argentina's laws require a candidate to secure 45 percent of the votes to win, or 40 percent with a 10-point advantage over the runner up.
Centrist opposition candidate Sergio Massa, of the United for a New Alternative Party (UNA), trailed in third place with 21.17 percent of the votes.
