Mexico’s foreign minister steps down as Claudia Sheinbaum announces plans to join the race for the presidency.
Mexico’s Foreign Minister, Marcelo Ebrard, has resigned from his position to join the primary race for the country’s 2024 presidential election. Ebrard’s decision to enter the race marks a significant shift in Mexico’s political landscape, as he now aims to secure the nomination for the ruling party, Morena.
In a related development, Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, also from Morena, announced she will follow suit, stepping down from her post on Friday to run for the presidency. Both Ebrard and Sheinbaum are seen as key contenders in the upcoming election, which will take place on June 2, 2024.
The two political figures will now compete in a primary race to determine who will represent the ruling party in the election. Their decisions have intensified the race for the presidency, with the Mexican public eagerly awaiting the upcoming months of campaigning.
