The Government sent its "Resolution 125" to Congress, which after a 18-hour Senate debate, was repealed in a tie vote broken by the Vice President Julio Cobos in a surprise vote against the executive branch resolution.
He was elected governor in 2003, heading a coalition between Radicals with Recrear and Federalists.
The UCR endorsed Lavagna in the first election since the party's establishment in 1892 that the UCR ran in a coalition rather than field its own candidate; Gerardo Morales, leader of the UCR, was named Lavagna's running mate (Mrs. Kirchner also had a Radical as her running mate, Mendoza Governor Julio Cobos).

A statement by UCR figure and former Mar del Plata Mayor Daniel Katz in support of a potential spot for Lorenzetti as Julio Cobos's running mate in the 2011 presidential election led to friction with the administration of President Cristina Kirchner, whose Cabinet Chief, Aníbal Fernández, expressed disapproval at Lorenzetti's silence on the issue.
