BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina's former populist leader Cristina Fernandez criticized President Mauricio Macri's government at a rally on Wednesday, after it took more than two weeks to release final results in a Senate primary race that gave her a razor-thin win.

Fernandez won the primary in Buenos Aires province, Argentina's largest. She edged out President Mauricio Macri's preferred candidate Esteban Bullrich 33.95 percent versus 33.74 percent.
