Long tied to outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Sheinbaum has emerged as a dominant political force in June’s election.
Mexico City, Mexico – She is leading in voter polls, poised to become Mexico’s first female president.
But Claudia Sheinbaum faces a challenge: how to distinguish herself from her political mentor, current President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, popularly known as AMLO.
A candidate for the left-leaning Morena party, Sheinbaum has campaigned in Lopez Obrador’s image, embracing many of his trademark projects and policies.
But experts say her personal history and past governing experience offer valuable clues about how her tenure in office might differ from Lopez Obrador’s, should she be elected on June 2.
“Sheinbaum has always been disciplined and strategic,” said Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera, a Mexican political analyst. “She’s not going to be as radical as AMLO.”
