Mexico’s ruling Morena party picked Claudia Sheinbaum, the former mayor of Mexico City, as its candidate to succeed President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, seeking to retain power in next year’s general elections.
A close ally of the president seen as his preferred heir, Sheinbaum beat out five other candidates from the party’s coalition in a nationwide poll of over 12,000 voters to determine the nominee. Even if an expected choice, she is now in position to benefit from Lopez Obrador’s high popularity to launch her presidential campaign ahead of the June 2 vote, where she appears as the early frontrunner.
“There was no incident that affected the final result,” Durazo said. “The process itself is a historic contribution to the democratic advancement of our country.” “The work we’ve been carrying out, all the mobilizations, have strengthened our movement,” she said in the event. “Tomorrow, the electoral process begins. There’s no time to lose.”
Both coalitions have avoided presenting their representatives as official candidates for the moment given Mexico’s electoral law prevents the start of the official campaigning period until March.
