Three candidates are vying for the position of head of state in presidential elections being held in Mexico on Sunday, the Associated Press reported.
The incumbent president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is not taking part in the election, while Claudia Sheinbaum, who is favored by many observers to win, is running on behalf of his National Revival Movement party.
Sheinbaum’s rivals are Sochitl Galvez of the opposition center-right bloc “Strength and Heart for Mexico” and former member of the lower house of the Mexican parliament Jorge Alvarez of the “Citizens’ Movement” party.
Observers, paying attention to the trio of candidates, note the high probability that the new president of Mexico for the first time could be a woman.
Mexico’s president is elected for a six-year term.
In addition to the presidential elections on Sunday, Mexico is holding parliamentary elections, as well as local elections, including the mayor of the capital Mexico City and governors of eight states.
