Claudia Sheinbaum will be the ruling party of Mexico's presidential candidate next year, moving the country closer to electing its first female president.
The left-wing Morena party selected the former Mexico City mayor after surveying polls, and with the dominant party's support, Sheinbaum is expected to hold a significant advantage in 2024, per the Associated Press."I’m excited. I feel very proud, very honored," Sheinbaum, 61, said, thanking her competitors by name.
Sheinbaum will be running against Mexican lawmaker Xóchitl Gálvez, the country's broad opposition coalition announced last week. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, elected in 2018, is unable to run for a second six-year term due to the country's constitution. However, Sheinbaum is an ally of the sitting president and was expected to be his preferred successor.
