Frontrunner Claudia Sheinbaum is set to become Mexico’s first woman president in an historic win, exit polls suggest.
Pollsters predicted that the 61-year-old former mayor of Mexico City had won 56 percent of the vote in Sunday’s election, convincingly beating her main rival, businesswoman Xóchitl Gálvez.
Sheinbaum’s Morena party has already claimed victory – but Gálvez urged her supporters to wait for the official results, expected to be announced early on Monday.
