Mexico president’s ruling party ousts once-dominant PRI in most populous state
LA TimesThe ruling party of Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador won the governorship of the country’s most populous state, dealing a life-threatening blow to the former ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party — or PRI — which had governed the state of Mexico without interruption for nearly a century. With more than 99% of precincts counted in a preliminary report, electoral authorities said Monday that the Morena party’s Delfina Gómez won 52.7% of votes in the state of Mexico — which surrounds Mexico City on three sides — to 44.3% for the PRI’s Alejandra del Moral. The Morena party now governs 22 of Mexico’s 32 states, propelled by López Obrador’s personal popularity — and more generous payments to the elderly and students than the PRI offered. Citizens Movement party leader Dante Delgado dashed any hopes Monday that his centrist group would join the PRI coalition, comparing it to a sinking ship, and calling Moreno, the PRI leader, “the one who dug the grave of the PRI.” López Obrador said he was pleased with Sunday’s election results, and said Monday that his administration would deal fairly with governors from all parties.
