Mexico’s Election Result

The ruling Morena candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum, is on course to be declared the country’s next (and first female) president after Sunday’s election and the party’s coalition also appears to be on course to secure a majority in Congress. Policy continuity will largely prevail, although Sheinbaum is likely to face greater scrutiny of the public finances and she is likely to be less supportive than her predecessor, President López Obrador, of the oil sector.
