With the closure of the Preliminary Electoral Results Program for federal deputies (with 92 percent of the polls counted), the Sigamos Making History coalition had an almost definitive advantage in 217 districts and Morena – in regions where there was no coalition – in another 37. In In contrast, the Fuerza y Corazón por México alliance only had an advantage in 40 districts.
The government coalition reached full car In almost half of the country, that is, in 15 entities, he was poised to win all of the federal electoral districts in dispute. In Aguascalientes, the entity with the best balance of the opposition alliance, they won the three deputies at stake. Meanwhile, in the ninth district of Michoacán, with headquarters in Uruapan, Araceli Mendoza, an independent candidate, had a tight advantage of 890 votes against the Sigamos Hazando Historia candidate.
The entities where the official coalition obtained all the districts were: Chiapas, Oaxaca, Tabasco, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Morelos, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa, Sonora, Zacatecas and Colima.
It was an election marked by the favorable trends in the presidential election, which revealed very clear contrasts, since in district three, which covers the most marginalized areas of the southeast of the country (Oaxaca, Chiapas, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Tabasco, Veracruz and Yucatán), of the 60 districts in dispute, Sigamos Making History won 58. It was only defeated in district four of Veracruz, in Boca del Río, and district four of Yucatán, with its headquarters in Mérida.
In district three of Chiapas, with headquarters in Ocosingo, Let’s Keep Making History obtained 86 percent of the votes; in one, in Palenque, it reached 81 percent, and in 11, in Las Margaritas, 80.7 percent. Since the days of the PRI as a hegemonic party, such overwhelming results have not been achieved.
The southeastern region benefited the most from public works in the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador and reported the greatest dividends in votes, even in Yucatán, a bastion of the PAN, an entity where We Continue Making History won five of the six districts. They were also where the maximum citizen participation was reached: 80 percent of voting in district two, in Progreso; 77 percent in one, from Valladolid, and 76 percent in five, from Umán.
Oaxaca was another entity where it swept all 10 electoral districts.
Although not on the same margins as in the south, the performance of that alliance was reproduced even in the north, since in Baja California Sur and Sonora they took all the districts at stake; while in Baja California it was ahead in seven of the eight districts, contesting one, with its capital in Mexicali, with the PAN, PRI and PRD coalition.
In Chihuahua, particularly in Ciudad Juárez, the official alliance reached figures similar to Chiapas in three of the four districts: 72 percent in one; 79 in two and 72 in three.
Also in the center of the country things went very well. In Mexico City, PREP reported an advantage in 18 of the 22 districts; Only in three did the opposition alliance achieve victory (Miguel Hidalgo, Benito Juárez and Coyoacán), among them, the one won by Margarita Zavala.
In the state of Mexico, the inertia of last year was consolidated when he won the governorship: of the 40 districts of that entity, 38 were for Let’s Keep Making History and only two for the opposition alliance, with outstanding advantages in Valle de Chalco, with 65 per hundred.
In Guerrero, the official coalition won a resounding victory to take the eight districts in dispute, including Acapulco.
