The 61-year-old surfed the popularity wave of her longstanding ally and Morena party partner, the departing leftist Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.  Sheinbaum is not only expected to be the first Jewish president of Mexico, but she has also led the nation as a secular socialist and seldom ever discusses her personal history in publicexpected to be the first Jewish president of Mexico, but she has also led the nation as a secular socialist and seldom ever discusses her personal history in public.

Sheinbaum declared that all Mexicans would be governed "without difference" under her government.

"We will have to walk in peace and unity to continue constructing a fair and more affluent Mexico, even though many Mexicans do not totally agree with our idea," she said to cheering crowds of supporters that gathered early on Monday in Mexico City's Zócalo, the city's main square.  She discussed the historical significance of being the nation's first female president.  She added, "I am also appreciative since I will become Mexico's first female president for the first time in the country's 200-year history."

With between 26.6% and 28.6% of the vote, opposition candidate Xóchitl Gálvez is trailing Sheinbaum. Gálvez is supported by a coalition of the National Action (PAN), Institutional Revolutionary (PRI), and Democratic Revolution (PRD) parties.  With 9.9% to 10.8% of the vote, Jorge Álvarez Máynez, the candidate for the Citizens' Movement, came in third.  The quick count figures show that 58.9% to 61.7% of the roughly 100 million electorate cast ballots in the presidential election.

Sheinbaum's political mentor and departing president, Andrés Obrador, congratulated her on her victory.  "I congratulate Claudia Sheinbaum, who won by a wide margin, with all of my love and respect." In a video that was uploaded on X, he declared, "She will be the first (female) President of Mexico... but also the President, potentially, with more votes obtained in all of our country's history."  With the 2019 constitutional amendment that solidified the nation's status as a global pioneer in female equality in public office, Sheinbaum's predicted victory is a noteworthy development. In terms of the representation of women in parliament, it surpasses a number of nations.

Still, Mexico is still a hazardous place for women to live, with almost ten women killed there every day due to the country's extremely high femicide rates.

Prior to her retirement in June of last year to pursue a presidential bid, Sheinbaum oversaw Mexico's most significant city for five years. In addition, she is wed to Jesús María Tarriba Unger and co-wrote a paper for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that won a Nobel Prize.  She is viewed as carrying on the legacy of López Obrador, whose social welfare initiatives improved the lot of less fortunate Mexicans and increased the support of the Morena party. Presidents of Mexico are limited to one term in office and are not eligible to run again under the constitution.

Sheinbaum has denied criticism of her strong political connection with Lopez Obrador and instead promised to carry out her predecessor's plans, which included free fertilizers for small farm owners, scholarships for over 12 million students, and a pension for all senior residents.  She is expected to be succeeded as mayor of Mexico City by Clara Marina Brugada Molina, a female member of Scheinbaum's Morena party. According to the Quick Count, she received between 49% and 52.8% of the vote, while Santiago Taboada, the opposition, received between 37.2% and 40.5%.

biggest election The election held on Sunday was the biggest in the history of the nation. Over 98 million people were registered to vote, and 1.4 million Mexican citizens could vote overseas.  A total of 70,000 candidates were contending not just for the president but also for more than 20,000 positions as senators, mayors, and governors.

But there was a great deal of violence during the elections. The Mexican government claims that since September, there have been over 20 political killings. However, some estimates place that figure significantly higher. Integralia, a Mexican consulting business, claims that at least 34 candidates were killed in the days leading up to the election.  Violence at the polling places caused voting in the southeast Mexican town of Coyomeapan to be suspended for many hours on Sunday, according to state electoral authorities.

Even if Mexico's murder rate decreased between 2019 and 2022, the nation is still suffering from historically high rates of almost 30,000 homicides annually. Experts estimate that the real figure is much greater.  Voters seemed to be particularly concerned about the bloodshed as cartels tighten their hold on Mexico.  Sheinbaum has been vague about her proposed security measures, although she has cited her track record as mayor of Mexico City, where her campaign claims she enhanced the police force's capacity for information collection and working conditions.

Convincing voters that she can remove the culture of impunity in Mexico—where, according to think tank Mexico Evalua, 95% of all crimes went undetected nationwide in 2022—will be one of her biggest challenges.  By September 6, the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (TEPJF) must have qualified the presidential election and received and examined any potential objections to the process following the final results. October 1st is when Sheinbaum will assume office if the election is upheld by the court. She will hold office for six years, from 2024 to 2030.
