Mexican Left-Wing Party Morena Gains Major Victory
Candidate Claudia Sheinbaum Favored in Presidential Race
Morena, founded in 2014, has achieved significant success in a short time.
Moˈɾena, a major Mexican left-wing political party, has achieved a major victory by winning the governorship of the country's most populous state, Mexico City. The party, which was founded in 2014 by Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is described as anti-neoliberal and populist.
The Morena candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum, is heavily favored to win the presidency in the upcoming election. Polls show her leading the race with a significant margin. If elected, Sheinbaum would become the first woman to serve as President of Mexico.
Morena's success is a sign of the growing popularity of left-wing politics in Mexico. The party has benefited from widespread discontent with the ruling party, the National Action Party (PAN), which has been in power since 2000. Morena has campaigned on a platform of social justice and economic equality, appealing to voters who feel left behind by the current government.
