Mexico now has its first female president. For the first time in 200 years of independence, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo (Mexico City, 61 years old) is the first woman to win a presidential election, achieving this in a historic day that delivered a resounding victory for the ruling party. With a turnout close to 61%, the president’s successor secured 58.8% of the vote with more than 80% of the ballots counted. The percentage surpasses the 53% obtained by Andrés Manuel López Obrador in 2018, a remarkable achievement for a candidate with less political charisma but who benefits from the momentum of the popular leader and has steadily garnered her own support. Much debate surrounded whether a machismo-driven country like Mexico was ready for a female president. The ballot boxes have given a resounding yes.
