Andrez Manuel Lopez Obrador is President elected in July 2018 of which of the following country?

The correct answer is C) Mexico. Andrés Manuel López Obrador, known as AMLO, won the presidential election held on 1 July 2018 as the candidate of the Morena party and took office on 1 December 2018. He was Mexico's president, not any other country's on this list.

Why the others fail:

• Venezuela: Nicolás Maduro was the president there. He was re-elected in May 2018, which was a separate contest from Mexico's July 2018 election.
• Argentina: Mauricio Macri was the president in 2018. He was elected in 2015 and served until December 2019.
• Nicaragua: Daniel Ortega has led the country since 2007 and was not elected in July 2018.

The core concept is the presidential system of Mexico, a federal republic in which the president serves a single six-year term with no re-election. That makes Mexico a standard case for comparing executive tenure across Latin American democracies, which is useful for Mains answers on populism and welfare schemes. AMLO was succeeded by Claudia Sheinbaum in October 2024, so the current office-holder is different.

Trap: Candidates often confuse the year of election with the year of office, or pick a Latin American leader they remember from the same period without checking the country.
