Mexico created history when Claudia Sheinbaum was elected as the first woman president of the country following a landslide victory in the polls.
Mexicos official electoral authority said preliminary results showed the 61-year-old former mayor of Mexico City winning between 58% and 60% of the vote in Sundays election, reported BBC.
She defeated her key opponent Xchitl Glvez by a massive margin.
Sheinbaum,61, will replace outgoing President Andrs Manuel Lpez Obrador on October 1.
In her victory speech, Sheinbaum, who is a former energy scientist, promised her voters that she wont fail them.
Sheinbaum served as Head of Government of Mexico City, a position equivalent to that of a state governor, from 2018 to 2023.
