Center-left opposition candidate Alberto Fernández has been elected president of Argentina in a vote dominated by economic concerns.
Fernández, 60, got more than the 45% of the vote needed to win, beating conservative incumbent Mauricio Macri.
The vote was held amid an economic crisis that has left a third of Argentina's population in poverty.
