An announcement has been made on June 2, 2024, by the National Electoral Institute of Mexico that Claudia Sheinbaum, the ruling Morena party’s candidate, has become the winner of presidential elections. As per Al Jazeera report, Claudia has secured her winning place with 58.3% to 60.7% of the votes.

Followed by her winning, Claudia is the first woman to be elected president of Mexico. While expressing her joy and gratitude, she wrote on her X handle, saying, “This is the triumph of the people of Mexico, of the peaceful revolution of consciences and the recognition of our people that the mandate to continue and advance with the Fourth Transformation of Public Life in Mexico is clear.”

With defeating her opponent, Xochitl Galvez, who was representing a coalition of largely conservative parties, Claudia clinched her triumph. Her resilience and leadership prowess are two of the reasons why she won. She didn’t only make her country proud but also represented the potential of the entire women community. Additionally, Claudio is all set to succeed her mentor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador who’s the outgoing President. With the best of thought, she will serve for her tenure with bravery and skills in the political sector.
