The official candidate Sheinbaum is emerging as the first female president of Mexico | The Basque Journal

Everything indicates that the elections in Mexico will leave Claudia Sheinbaum as its first president. With the vote count still below 50%, the polls indicate that the official candidate will take control of the country, extending the mandate of Andrés López Obrador’s party (National Regeneration Movement-Morena) for another six years.

According to the first data, Sheinbaum’s party wins in states such as Chiapas, Puebla and Tabasco, while his main opponent, Xóchitl Gálvez of PRIAN, wins in Guanajuato, Jalisco and Yucatán. The main dispute will take place in Mexico City, about which nothing is known yet.
