Mexicans vote in election likely to see first woman president

Polls have closed in Mexico in an election which is almost certain to see the country’s first female president elected.

Both the front runner, Claudia Sheinbaum, and her main rival, Xóchitl Gálvez, are far ahead in the polls of the only male candidate, Jorge Álvarez Máynez.

Voters will also elect all members of Mexico’s Congress and governors in eight states, as well as the head of Mexico City’s government.

The campaign has been overshadowed by violent attacks, which the government says have resulted in more than 20 local candidates being killed across Mexico, although private surveys put the total at 37.

Two people were reported killed in two attacks on polling stations in the state of Puebla on Sunday, officials said.
