STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSMEXICO CITY -Maverick Mexican senator Xochitl Galvez on Wednesday effectively secured the main opposition candidacy for next year's presidential election after picking up the endorsement of a key party, which dumped its own contender.
But the manner of the PRI's decision to abandon Paredes took the shine off what had appeared to be an imminent victory for Galvez in a vote due on Sunday to choose the opposition alliance's presidential candidate. "The best way of choosing the candidate is to let the voters decide," said Fernando Belaunzaran, a former federal congressman for the center-left Party of the Democratic Revolution , the president's previous outfit, now in the opposition alliance.A spirited, shrewd communicator with an irreverent sense of humor, Galvez represents the center-right National Action Party , a longtime rival, now ally, of the centrist PRI. The PRD had previously said it was backing Galvez.
Renowned for her ebullience and adept at creating publicity, Galvez has crafted her pitch as one of triumph over adversity, describing how she became a successful entrepreneur after growing up in an impoverished family with indigenous roots.
