It’s election season, folks, and Mexico is gearing up for its biggest political showdown yet! With nearly 100 million citizens set to cast their votes on June 2, this election promises to be one for the history books.
Get ready to choose not just the next President of Mexico, but also a whopping 20,000 officials at various levels of government – from federal to state to local. We’re talking governors, state legislators, mayors, and city council members all up for grabs!
What makes this election extra special? Well, for starters, both front runners for the presidential seat are women – a groundbreaking first for Mexico! Leading the pack is Claudia Sheinbaum, who’s got the backing of the current president and a whole lot of government muscle behind her campaign.
Hot on her heels is Xóchitl Gálvez, a savvy entrepreneur and politician who’s been gaining momentum despite trailing behind Claudia in the polls. And let’s not forget Jorge Alvarez Maynez, who’s putting up a valiant fight but still has some catching up to do.
Come election day, voting booths will be popping up all across the country, giving every citizen a chance to make their voice heard. So, mark your calendars and get ready to play your part in shaping Mexico’s future!
