With 97.2 percent of the bal lot counted yesterday, official re turns showed de la Rua, the*op- position leader, with 48.4 percent of the votes. The ruling Peronist party’s candidate, Buenos Aires Province Gov. Eduardo Duhalde, had 38.0 percent. The rest of the votes were split among eight oth er candidates. De la Rua’s victory was seen as a vote for change after the decade-long rule of flamboyant President Carlos Menem, who immediately began to make good on his promise to attempt a comeback in the year 2003 by vir tually launching a campaign.
