Claudia Sheinbaum was elected Mexico's first female president.
Claudia Sheinbaum is expected to win the poll by a wide margin. She is a former climate scientist and Mayor of Mexico City. She is likely to succeed her political mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador. Supporters of the president-elect gathered in large numbers in the capital to celebrate Sheinbaum's overwhelming victory. Claudia Sheinbaum is estimated to win Sunday's presidential election with 58.3 to 60.7 percent of the vote, according to the INE's official rapid count. It put her nearest challenger, Xochitl Galvez, who leads a coalition of primarily conservative parties, at 26.6-28.8 percent. The official result will be announced on June 8. Speaking to supporters, Sheinbaum said her competitors, Galvez and Maynez, had called her and acknowledged her victory.
