Mexican NonFederal Elections

[Georg Ebner]

To/yesterDay were gubernatorial elections held in Puebla, BajaCalifornia (ruled by PAN since the 1980ies) and 2 other states.
ExitPolls see unsurprisingly sweeps by MORENA.

[Georg Ebner]

Puebla is relatively narrow: 80% counted and the candidate of MORENA+PT+VERDE is at 43%, PAN+PRD 36%, PRI 17%.

[Georg Ebner]

BajaCalifornia: Only 8% are done; MORENA&PT&VERDE 49% (!), PAN 25%, PRD 8%, PRI 4%.

Baja California was the first break in the old PRI hegemony I think?

Way back in 1989, I think.

MORENA have obviously done very well - I wonder if the current conflict with Trump is leading Mexicans to rally round their President.

In these dire times every election, which is actually held, is welcomed FreshFlesh:

2 states have so far had only governors from 1 party (the PRI, of course): MexicoLand & Coahuila (in the North) - and both are up tomorrow (and exactly this late date explains, why PRI hasn't lost them some years earlier). With the State of Mexico (13.5% of pop.) certain to fall to them, over 2/3 of the country will be governed by the MRPRI, the Moviemento ReGeneración PRI:

[Georg Ebner]

Winner as expected: MexicoLand for MoReNa, Coahuila for PRI.

But not the margins, which are for MoReNa not overwhelming...
