More top officials could soon follow the foreign minister in quitting to compete for the presidency, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Wednesday, as the race to succeed him begins to thin out the government.
Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, one of the favorites to be Mexico's next leader, said on Tuesday evening he would resign next week to focus on his campaign to become the candidate for the ruling leftist National Regeneration Movement .
It appears Ebrard is winning that argument, and several aides to the president look poised to follow him soon. If MORENA's board decides that on Sunday, then interior minister Lopez and Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, two other top contenders, would need to resign, Lopez Obrador said at a regular press conference.Lopez Obrador made the remark after observing that more contenders could follow Ebrard's lead in the next few days.
