An overwhelming victory for Morena, Mexico and Latin America
Reporting from the polling stations in Mexico, DAVID RABY witnesses a victory for the progressive candidate Claudia Sheinbaum that even the most ardent supporters of Amlo’s ‘4T Transformation’ did not dare to hope for
President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum waves to supporters at the Zocalo, Mexico City's main square, after the National Electoral Institute announced she held an irreversible lead in the election, early Monday, June 3, 2024

PRELIMINARY results in the Mexican elections indicate a massive victory for Claudia Sheinbaum as president, and for Morena (and the Let’s Keep Making History coalition) in congressional and gubernatorial contests.

The results confirm what polls had been predicting for months and leave the right-wing opposition in complete disarray.

While these results are provisional and some variations are to be expected, the fundamental tendencies are so clear and decisive that it can confidently be affirmed that Amlo’s “4T Transformation” will continue.
