Mexico Likely To Have 1st Female President

The general secretary of the National Regeneration Movement party, Citlali Hernandez and Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, sole candidate for the presidency of Mexico, at the WTC Convention Center in Mexico City, Mexico, November 19, 2023. Mexico appears all but certain to elect its first ever female head of state after Claudia Sheinbaum was confirmed in September as the governing party's candidate in next year's presidential election. The former Mexico City mayor will face off against Xochitl Galvez, who is leading the opposition coalition. Ms Sheinbaum, a 61-year-old trained scientist, is a close ally of leftist President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador. Photo by Luis Barron/Eyepix Group/ABACAPRESS.COM
