As the historic Mexican elections approach on June 2, nearly 100 million Mexicans, including around 12 million living abroad, are preparing to cast their ballots and probably elect the first female president in the country's history.
Former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, representing a coalition that includes the ruling Morena party, and former Sen. Xochitl Galvez, running as part of a coalition that includes the National Action Party (PAN) are the two favored candidates for the upcoming race. Mexicans will also vote to renew all 500 deputies for the lower chamber of Congress and the 128 members of the Senate.
