Mexican voters are on the verge of electing the country's first female president as election results are awaited from yesterday's vote.
The two leading candidates are both women: Claudia Sheinbaum, a climate scientist from the ruling party of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Xóchitl Gálvez, a businesswoman representing a coalition of opposition parties. This historic election highlights the significant progress women have made in Mexican politics, considering they were not granted the right to vote until 1953.
