Historic Win for Morena Party and First Female Governor in Mexico's Most Populous State.

Delfina Gómez, the candidate for Mexico's ruling party Morena, has become the first woman elected governor of the state of Mexico, the country's most populous state. Her victory over Alejandra del Moral of the opposition coalition, Va por México, headed by the PRI, marks the first time in 94 years that Morena has seized power from the PRI in the state. The state of Mexico is an important economic center of the country but also grapples with the nation's worst challenges: inequality, violence and corruption.
