This paper analyses the political capital structures of the province Intendants of Santiago del Estero in the period 2006‑2018. It is assumed that these representatives hold a set of attributes that, combined, make up a structure of political capital that enables them to be elected. Based on a research process, four types of political capital are constructed. The means of interrogation in the research process were observation records of partisan activities, interviews with Intendants and archival work in province newspapers, and the provincial electoral court on four elections (2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018). The results show the importance of territorial capital and the combination with other kinds of political capital, mainly gender capital and socio-professional capital.

Keywords : Local Politics; Political Capital; Local Party Networks; Electoral Politics; Santiago del Estero, Argentina.
