As of 2019, who is the president of Argentina?

Alberto Ángel Fernández (April 1959) is an Argentine lawyer, politician, and the current President of Argentina after winning the 2019 general election. He was the Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers during the entirety of Néstor Kirchner's presidency, and the early months of Cristina Kirchner's.

Fernández was born in Buenos Aires, son of Celia Pérez and her first husband. Separated from the latter, Celia married Judge Carlos Pelagio Galíndez. Alberto Fernández, who barely knew his biological father, considers Pelagio to be his true father.

On May 18, 2019, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner announced that Fernández would be a candidate for president, and that she would run for vice president alongside him, hosting his first campaign rally with Santa Cruz Governor Alicia Kirchner, sister-in-law of the former Kirchner.

Fernández also earned the endorsement of the General Confederation of Labor, receiving their support in exchange for promising that he will boost the economy, and that there will be no labor reform.

On August 11, 2019, Fernández won first place in the 2019 primary elections, earning 47.7% of the vote, compared to incumbent President Mauricio Macri's 31.8%.
