Elections in the State of Mexico this Sunday, June 4
Morena’s candidate for the government of the State of Mexico, Delfina Gómez, leads the electorate’s preference with an average of 57.8% of votes according to the most recent polls. If confirmed on election day, the standard-bearer for Andrés Manuel López Obrador would make up for his defeat by less than 200,000 votes in 2017 when PRI member Alfredo del Mazo beat him by a small difference. The candidate supported by the outgoing governor, Alejandra del Moral, manages to get as close as five or six points in the most favorable polls but no further. Her average puts her close to 42%.
