Mexico is on the brink of making history as a woman is poised to become the next leader of the country following the upcoming election on Sunday. Claudia Sheinbaum, the ruling-party candidate, expresses confidence in her victory and pledges to continue current President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s social programs and unique crime prevention strategy.
Her main rival, Xochitl Galvez, promises a tougher stance on drug cartel violence. The issue of criminal violence, migration, and relations with the United States are key challenges for the upcoming leader. Sheinbaum leads in the polls with 53% support, while Galvez follows with 36%.
The election will be a pivotal moment for Mexico, with security concerns and violence casting a shadow over the process. Sheinbaum’s strong support and promises to continue current policies make her a frontrunner in this historic race.
