In a historic event for Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo will be the first woman in occupying the presidency of the countryafter being declared the virtual winner of the elections last Sunday, June 2.
The candidate, nominated by the Let’s Keep Making History alliance, received recognition of her victory from Guadalupe Taddei Zavala, Presidential Counselor of the National Electoral Institute (INE), during the official announcement of the Quick Count.
Sheinbaum’s election marks the end of the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who will conclude his mandate on Monday, September 30.
The transfer of power will take place on Tuesday, October 1when Sheinbaum is sworn in as the sixty-sixth president of Mexico before the new Congress of the Union, which will begin its session on September 1.
This change of government will be considered a mandatory day of rest at the national level, in accordance with Mexican laws.
New date
The change in the date of the presidential inauguration, which historically took place on December 1, is the result of a constitutional reform approved in 2014 during the government of Enrique Peña Nieto.
The modification sought to shorten the transition period between the end of the elections and the start of the new government, thus facilitating the presentation of the new president’s budget proposal sooner.
During his term, which will extend from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2030, Sheinbaum will face various challenges, including the continuity of the policies initiated by his predecessor and the expectations of his constituents that demand significant changes and improvements in public administration.
Likewise, his leadership will be fundamental in the conduct of Mexico’s internal and external policy, in an increasingly complex and challenging global context.
