Welcome to the forum!

"se presentó a la oficina de presidente" is the way to say that "he ran for the office of president".

I had never heard it that way ... Nunca lo había escuchado expresado de esta forma... Adónde se dice así? "Se presentó a la oficina del presidente" reads "he went to the president's office" - Benz, Feb 23, 2010
