The Citizen's Unity Party (Spanish: Frente de la Unidad Ciudadana) is a political party from Argentina led by the former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
It was suggested that Cristina Kirchner would run for senator for the Buenos Aires Province at the 2017 midterm elections, but her former minister Florencio Randazzo wanted to run for those elections as well. Refusing to run in primary elections, Kirchner asked for a shared ticket as a condition to run for senator. Randazzo did not accept the proposal. The Front for Victory was renamed as the Citizen's Unity Party at the province, and registered as a coalition of minor parties only, leaving the Justicialist Party out of it. As a result, both parties would run to the elections as unrelated parties.
The name of the party was contested by a minor local party, the "Agrupación Vecinal Unidad Ciudadana", on the grounds that it is similar to their own one.
