^ A: A centre-left coalition,[6][7][8] the party is also described as catch-all or big tent.[10] It is formed by parties ranging from the left to the right.[11] However, a majority is centre-left (Kirchnerism),[12][6] with left-wing,[13] centre-right[14][15] and centrist factions.[16][17]

The Union for the Homeland (Spanish: Unión por la Patria, UP) is a political and electoral coalition of Peronist political parties in Argentina who are the main opposition coalition since December 2023.

The coalition was formed to compete in the 2023 general election,[18] and is a successor to the previous Frente de Todos coalition, whose candidate in the 2019 presidential election, Alberto Fernández, was successfully elected President of Argentina.[19] The coalition is centred on the Justicialist Party and its allies both on the federal and provincial levels, including the Renewal Front of Sergio Massa, who was the coalition's candidate for president in the 2023 presidential election.[20][21]
