How long does AMLO’s government end and why will it last less?

Mexico City. The government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador began on December 1, 2018. AMLO came to power after three attempts in the presidential campaigns of 2006, 2012 and it was finally in the elections of July 1, 2018 that he managed to win the presidency, as standard-bearer of the coalition ‘Together We Will Make History’, integrated by Morena and other political groups. In that 2018 election, Andrés Manuel López Obrador won the presidency over candidates Ricardo Anaya (PRI, PRD, MC); José Antonio Meade (PRI, PVEM, Nueva Alianza and independent Jaime Rodríguez Calderón, known as ‘El Bronco’, who was governor of Nuevo León with a license and sought to compete in the campaign to reach Los Pinos. And although it took AMLO three presidential campaigns to win, he will have to leave before other presidents. While Mexico’s presidents historically have exact six-year terms in power, that won’t be the case for Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who will end his term a little early. Previously, presidents left power on December 1 of the sixth year of their government, however, after the political-electoral reform of 2014, it was determined that elected leaders must leave power on October 1 of the sixth year. This means that the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador will end on October 1, 2024, the date on which he must leave office in the hands of whoever turns out to be the winner of the 2024 presidential elections.You may be interested: The reason why Andrés Manuel López Obrador and all the presidents who follow him will finish two months earlier than the previous ones, is that with this adjustment of times it is allowed that the president who is elected can participate in the design of the Budget of his first year of government, a situation that did not occur before, when the president only “inherited” the package left by the president in retirement.
