Cristina Elisabet Fernández de Kirchner (born February 19, 1953 as Cristina Elisabet Fernández), often known as Cristina Kirchner, is an Argentine politician from the Justicialist Party. She is the wife of the current President of Argentina, Néstor Kirchner, and a former senator for Buenos Aires Province.

In the October 2007 general election, Fernández ran for President of Argentina, representing the ruling Front for Victory party.[2] According to partial official results, she won the election with nearly 45% of the vote, and a 20% lead over her nearest rival — one of the widest margins a candidate has obtained since democracy returned in 1983 — avoiding the need for a runoff election.[3] If final results confirm the current trend, she will become Argentina's second female president (after Isabel Martínez de Perón), but the first to be elected.

Fernández is noted for her wardrobe and shoe collection. She has been called "Imelda" and a "fashionista" by ABC News.[4] She and husband Néstor Kirchner have two children, Máximo and Florencia.[5]
