Claudia Sheinbaum, representing the ruling Morena party, has achieved a decisive and insurmountable advantage in the presidential election, paving the way for her to make history as first female Mexicans president.
According to preliminary results from the National Electoral Institute, Claudia Sheinbaum leads the race with 58% of the votes, followed by Xóchitl Gálvez of the National Action Party (PAN) with 26.6%, and Jorge Álvarez Máynez with 9.9%.
The results indicate a significant lead for Sheinbaum, positioning her to become Mexico’s first female president.
Sheinbaum, 61, a former mayor of Mexico City, is set to succeed President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the founder of the Morena party.
