Mexico elects Claudia Sheinbaum as first woman president

Claudia Sheinbaum has been elected as Mexico’s first woman president in a historic landslide win.

Mexico’s official electoral authority stated preliminary results revealed the 61-year-old former mayor of Mexico City winning between 58% and 60% of the vote in Sunday’s election.

That gives her a lead of about 30 percentage points over her principal rival, businesswoman Xóchitl Gálvez.

Sheinbaum will replace outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, on 1 October.
