Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, one of the leading contenders to be the country's next leader, said on Tuesday he will resign to focus on winning the presidential nomination of the ruling party for the 2024 election.
Ebrard, a former mayor of Mexico City, wants to succeed President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador as the standard-bearer of the leftist National Regeneration Movement , which now dominates national politics.
Mexico's U.N. ambassador Juan Ramon de la Fuente and ambassador to the U.S. Esteban Moctezuma are seen by many analysts as the favorites to replace Ebrard as foreign minister. Jorge Buendia, head of polling firm Buendia & Marquez, said Ebrard's step was evidently aimed at beefing up his campaign. An official said the question of when the presidential hopefuls should stand down was discussed during a meeting on Monday evening between Lopez Obrador and party leaders, including Ebrard, Sheinbaum and interior minister Lopez.
