Sheinbaum Leads in Mexican General Election Results
Landmark Victory for Morena Party and Climate Scientist
Mexico City, Mexico - Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the former head of the government of Mexico City, is projected to become the country's first female president after a landslide victory in the 2024 Mexican general election. Representing the left-wing Morena party, Sheinbaum secured a resounding victory, according to an official quick count of votes. This outcome solidifies Morena's continued dominance in Mexican politics, following outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's popular presidency. As a climate scientist and protege of President Obrador, Sheinbaum's election is a significant milestone for gender equality and environmental policy in Mexico. She holds a PhD in energy engineering and participated in a United Nations panel of climate scientists that was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
