Claudia Sheinbaum set to become Mexico’s first female president

“I will become the first woman president of Mexico,” Sheinbaum said with a smile, speaking at a downtown hotel shortly after electoral authorities announced a statistical sample showed she held an irreversible lead. “I don’t make it alone. We’ve all made it, with our heroines who gave us our homeland, with our mothers, our daughters and our granddaughters.”

“We have demonstrated that Mexico is a democratic country with peaceful elections,” she said.

The president of the National Electoral Institute stated that Sheinbaum had secured between 58.3% and 60.7% of the vote, based on a statistical sample. Opposition candidate Xóchitl Gálvez received between 26.6% and 28.6%, while Jorge Álvarez Máynez garnered between 9.9% and 10.8%. Sheinbaum’s Morena party was also expected to maintain majorities in both chambers of Congress.

The climate scientist and former Mexico City mayor announced that her two competitors had called to concede her victory.
