Xochitl Galvez: Opposition's Female Candidate for Mexico Presidency
TL;DR
Xochitl Galvez, a maverick Mexican senator, has secured the main opposition candidacy for Mexico's 2024 presidential election after receiving the endorsement of a key party. Galvez's victory brings Mexico closer to the possibility of having its first female president. She is seen as the strongest contender to challenge President AMLO's left-wing National Regeneration Movement (MORENA). However, the way the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) abandoned its own candidate in favor of Galvez has raised concerns about the credibility of the opposition alliance's selection process.
