Claudia Sheinbaum has claimed victory in Mexico’s presidential election.
A supporter of ruling party presidential candidate Claudia Sheinbaum holds a flag that reads in Spanish"we won" after general elections at the Zocalo, Mexico City's main square, Sunday, June 2, 2024. in Mexico’s presidential election, becoming the first woman selected for the job by promising to continue the political course set by her populist predecessor despite widespread discontent with persistent cartel violence and disappointing economic performance.
“I don’t want everything to be occupied by the same party, so there can be a little more equality,” she said without elaborating. If the margin holds, it would approach López Obrador's landslide victory in 2018. He won the presidency after two unsuccessful tries with 53.2% of the votes, in a three-way race where National Action took 22.3% and the Institutional Revolutionary Party took 16.5%.
“The only way that we move forward is by working together,” Ríos said. “She is going to work to bring peace to the country, and is going to manage to advance, but it is a slow process.” But his highest hope is that Sheinbaum can “improve what AMLO couldn’t do, the price of gasoline, crime and drug trafficking, which he didn’t combat even though he had the power.”
Julio García, a Mexico City office worker, said he was voting for the opposition in Mexico City’s central San Rafael neighborhood. “They’ve robbed me twice at gunpoint. You have to change direction, change leadership,” the 34-year-old said. “Continuing the same way, we’re going to become Venezuela.”
