Presidency of Mauricio Macri

Mauricio Macri's tenure as the president of Argentina began on 10 December 2015, and ended on 10 December 2019. Macri, a member of the Republican Proposal, took office after defeating the Justicialist candidate, Daniel Scioli, in the 2015 general election. He is Argentina's first democratically elected non-Radical or Peronist president since 1916. Macri unsuccessfully sought re-election in the 2019 general election, losing to Alberto Fernández and becoming the first incumbent president in Argentina and South America's history to be unseated by a challenger and not reach a second term.
