The first woman president is elected in Mexico! Who is 61-year-old Claudia
Claudia Sheinbaum

Claudia Sheinbaum has been elected Mexico's first female president in a historic landslide victory.

Preliminary results showed the 61-year-old former mayor of Mexico City won between 58% and 60% of the vote in Sunday's election. This gives her a lead of almost 30 percentage points over her main rival, businesswoman Xóchitl Gálvez.

Sheinbaum will replace outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on October 1. Sheinbaum, a former energy scientist, has promised continuity, saying she will continue to build on the "advances" made by Mr. López Obrador.

In her victory speech, she told voters: "I will not fail."

Her supporters are celebrating in the Zócalo, Mexico City's main square, waving banners that read "Claudia Sheinbaum, president."

Sheinbaum has a bachelor's degree in physics and a master's and doctorate in energy engineering. She has received several accolades for her academic career.

Born in Mexico City in 1962, she has two children and one grandson. Her partner, Jesús María Tarriba, whom she met at university while they were both studying physics, is currently a financial risk specialist at the Bank of Mexico.

In 2018, she became president of the government of Mexico City, the first woman elected to this post. Her desire to be part of Mexican politics began in 2000 when she was appointed Secretary of the Environment for the Federal District under the administration of Andrés López Obrador until 2006.

Three years before she became the first woman elected mayor of Tlalpan, serving until 2017. In early 2018, she joined the government of Mexico City as mayor until June 2023, when she left to run for the presidency with the Morena party, of which she is the founder, aiming to succeed her party colleague, López Obrador.

As part of her campaign within Morena, Sheinbaum is appointed coordinator for the Protection of Transformation, whose mission, as stated in her LinkedIn profile, is to protect and promote the values ​​of the Fourth Transformation of Public Life in Mexico, the central axis of López Obrador's policy.

Most of her life has been devoted to university teaching, focusing on renewable energy and climate change. In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), to which Sheinbaum contributed, received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Sheinbaum is not only Mexico's first female president, but the first president of Jewish heritage, though she rarely speaks publicly about her personal background and has governed as a secular leftist.
