1st female Mexican president candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum leading with 56% support in polls.

Mexican feminists are divided over the prospect of electing their country's first female president, with polls showing Claudia Sheinbaum of the ruling party leading the race with 56% support, followed by Xochitl Galvez from the main opposition party with 34%. The only male candidate, Jorge Alvarez Maynez, has just 10% support. Although Mexican women are gaining success in politics and business, many still face issues including gender-based murders, with around 10 women killed daily.
