Environmental scientist and former Mexico City mayor Claudia Sheinbaum won a landslide election as Mexico's first female president on Sunday, a historic milestone in a country plagued by race-based violence and misogyny. With about 40 percent of the vote counted, Mexico's election agencies estimate Sheinbaum is leading the race with 58 percent to 60 percent of the vote. Her closest rival, Xochitl Galvez, is projected to get 26 to 28 percent of the vote, while another opposition candidate, Jorge Alvarez Menez, got nine to 10 percent.
In his victory speech to supporters, Sheinbaum said that both rivals have accepted defeat and have called to congratulate him on his victory. He told the huge crowd that I will become the first woman president of Mexico. Claudia Sheinbaum will be the first woman to hold this post in the 200-year history of the country. Climate scientist and former mayor of Mexico City Sheinbaum said on Sunday night that both rivals have accepted their victory.
Shinbaum said that I cannot do this work alone. We all have done this together. The heroines, mothers and daughters of our motherland supported us a lot. He said that Mexico is a democratic country where peaceful elections have been held. An official said that according to the data, Shinbaum got 58.3 percent to 60.7 percent votes. Opposition candidate Xochitl Galvez got 26.6 to 28.6 percent votes, while Jorge Alvarez Menez got 9.9 percent to 10.8 percent votes.
