In the 2024 Mexican election involving a record 100 million voters and 20,000 elected positions, termed the 'bloodiest election' with 38 candidates murdered, former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum secured victory as the first female president-elect with a record 59% vote share. She faces expectations of addressing violent crime and boosting economic prospects. Amid concerns of violence during the election, the ruling National Regeneration Movement party's potential to secure an absolute majority in parliament post-Sheinbaum's presidential win is being closely watched. Sheinbaum's background as a scientist and her approaches to governance and policies including energy and infrastructure have stirred both praise and criticism.
