Most states in the United States do not permit two parties to jointly nominate the same candidate and have both party labels on the ballot. But Mexico is permitting two parties, PAN and PRD, to jointly nominate Ricardo Anaya for president. Four candidates are on the ballot. The election is July 1.
Polls show that Andrew Manuel Lopez Obrador is leading. He is the nominee of a party, Morena (National Regeneration Movement) that has never before won the presidency or a plurality in the Mexican national legislature, and which was founded in 2014. Anaya is second. Jose Antonio Meade, nominee of the PRI (the party that won most elections in the last century) is third. Independent candidate Margaritz Zavala is fourth. See this story.
