Claudia Sheinbaum topped the polls of the Morena party and will be the presidential candidate in the upcoming elections that Mexico will hold in 2024. The former head of government of Mexico City prevailed over her rivals with a support of 39.4% of the political group and could become the next president of the nation.

The wise people have chosen the compañera @Claudiashein to coordinate the Committees for the Defense of the Transformation towards 2024. A worthy defender of the interests of Mexicans, always to the left and committed to just causes, this is #Claudia.

The candidate, who graduated in Physics and has a master's degree and a doctorate in Energy Engineering, thanked the party and the Mexican people for the support they showed her. In addition, Sheinbaum said in a video published on the social network X (formerly Twitter) that with this decision, Mexico was "strengthening democracy":

Thank you to everyone who took part in this unprecedented process. We are strengthening democracy. Our call will always be for unity. I will never betray the people of Mexico. Let's go for 2024!

Marcelo Ebrard denounces irregularities in the party of Mexico

Sheinbaum beat Marcelo Ebrard who, with 25.6% of the support, came in second. However, the candidate denounced that there were illegalities in the process and that the vote should be redone. In fact, he said in a video that his representatives had not been allowed to be present during the counting of the votes:

Urgent last minute information : they forcibly prevent the entry of our representation to the counting of the ballots of Morena. What a sadness.

The rest of Claudia Sheinbaum's opponents, for their part, assured that they supported the now candidate of the Morena party and that they did not see any irregularities during the electoral process.

Andrés Manuel López-Obrador (AMLO), with whom she maintains a very good relationship, also showed his support. In fact, Sheinbaum worked as Secretary of the Environment between 2000 and 2006, after which she went on to occupy a position as head of delegation of Tlalpan and in 2018 she became the head of Government of Mexico City. She left this position in June of this year to present herself to the polls and be able to be the president of the Morena party.

After winning the polls, Claudia Sheinbaum will face Xóchitl Gálvez. She will be the candidate of the opposition party, alliance Frente Amplio. One of the two, representing the country's two largest political parties, could eventually become the first female president in Mexico's history.
