In the absence of the national leaders of the opposition and before representatives of the federal government, her cabinet, and the judiciary, the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary (TEPJF), in a solemn session, delivered the certificate of the majority of votes and President-Elect to Claudia Sheinbaum, who will assume the presidency on October 1 and become the commander of the country's armed forces.
In her first speech as President-Elect, Sheinbaum emphasized that she was not arriving alone to the presidency but that all women were arriving with her, and she vowed to govern for all, especially the most vulnerable women.
"I arrive strengthened by the force that comes from our ancestors, grandmothers, mothers, daughters, and granddaughters; today, we all arrive," she said. She also assured that neoliberal governments and the war on drugs would not return to the country, as she committed to continuing the strategy of building peace with justice.
"We will advance with the fourth transformation initiated in 2018 by President López Obrador, which means continuing to build a free Mexico, a Mexico of well-being, of rights, a government that does not repress," she stated.
From the podium of the Superior Chamber, Sheinbaum urged the magistrates to respect the people's will in the allocation of deputies and senators in the Congress of the Union.
"The electoral norm is clear in allocating majority and proportional representation legislators. I am convinced that the heads of the judiciary in electoral matters are deeply knowledgeable on this topic because they have acted accordingly in past elections, and they will know how to respect the Constitution, the laws, and the will of the people," she said.
For her part, TEPJF President Magistrate Mónica Soto acknowledged that she removed the veil of patriarchy with Sheinbaum's ascension to the Executive Branch. Soto even remarked that the citizens of Mexico have shattered the glass ceiling with the election of the first female President after 65 men have led the federal executive branch.
Soto Fregoso added that nothing diminishes the fact that Mexico now has its first female President, with 35.9 million votes from citizens, following an electoral process filled with challenges and demanding tasks and workdays.
