The election of Mexican President Sunday (1/7/2018) will be a historic election. In a country ravaged by corruption and violence, voters went to the polling station with the firm intention of making major changes.
Leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, also known as AMLO, scored more than 10%. . Voters will also vote for candidates to fill 128 seats in the Senate and 500 seats in the Council of Deputies, the upper and lower chambers.
President Enrique Pena Nieto, elected in 2012, is unpopular, reaching only 17% last year. The Mexican Constitution only gives a candidate a mandate of six years, with no possibility of reelection. And the six-year presidency of Pena Nieto is marked by social and economic turmoil.
In 2012, Pena Nieto promised to defeat violence in Mexico, largely due to drug cartels, and the Mexican economy is also gloomy. Nieto's pénécologue says that the president has not managed to overcome these problems, but some have accused him of worsening the problem. [jm]
