Xóchitl Gálvez, a Senator and Businesswoman, Chosen as the Opposition's Candidate for Mexico's Presidency
Opposition Chooses Gálvez to Lead Them in Presidential Race
Gálvez is a Prominent Figure in Mexican Politics
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's broad opposition coalition announced Thursday that it has chosen Sen. Xóchitl Gálvez as its candidate for the presidency in the upcoming elections. Gálvez, who is 61 years old, is a prominent figure in Mexican politics and is known for her work on issues such as environmental protection and anti-corruption measures.
Gálvez is a member of the conservative National Action Party (PAN) and has served as a senator since 2018. She is known for her outspoken nature and her willingness to challenge the status quo. She is also a successful businesswoman and has founded several companies, including a technology company and a consulting firm.
Gálvez's selection is seen as a major coup for the opposition coalition, which is hoping to unseat the ruling Morena party in the upcoming elections. The coalition is made up of several different parties, including the PAN, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD). It is a broad coalition that includes both left-leaning and right-leaning parties that are united in their opposition to Morena.
The presidential election will be held on June 2, 2024. Gálvez will face off against the Morena candidate, who has not yet been chosen. The election is expected to be closely contested, and Gálvez is considered to be a serious contender.
