Polls have closed and votes are being counted – in an election expected to see the appointment of Mexico’s first female President.
Claudia Sheinbaum, the candidate for the ruling Morena party, is expected to win the presidency over rival Xochitl Galvez, who represents a coalition of largely conservative parties called “Strength and Heart for Mexico”.
Sheinbaum wants to succeed her political mentor, outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Presidents in Mexico can serve only one six-year term.
