Andrés Manuel López Obrador is President elected in July 2018 of which of the following country?

A Venezuela
B Argentina
C Mexico
D Nicaragua

Correct answer: (c) Mexico

Explanation

  1. A

    Venezuela

    Venezuela’s presidency in that period was Nicolás Maduro’s, not López Obrador’s. This option is not the key.

  2. B

    Argentina

    Argentina did not elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador in July 2018. This option is therefore wrong.

  3. C

    Mexico

    Andrés Manuel López Obrador, often called AMLO, won Mexico’s presidential election in July 2018 and took office in December. That is the match. This option is the official key.

  4. D

    Nicaragua

    Nicaragua was led by Daniel Ortega, not López Obrador. This option is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c) Mexico. López Obrador of the Morena movement won the 2018 Mexican presidential race. Venezuela, Argentina and Nicaragua had other heads of government. Only (c) is his country.
