BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentine President Mauricio Macri called on "angry" voters to get behind him ahead of presidential elections next week, as he looks to defy the odds and rein in Peronist challenger Alberto Fernandez, who beat him heavily in a primary vote in August.

Huge crowds gathered in the southern hemisphere spring sunshine in the centre of Buenos Aires on Saturday, carrying Argentine flags and "yes we can" banners. The event was one of a series of Macri campaign rallies around the country.
