Mid-term elections in Mexico: a tepid ruling party victory over weak opposition

On June 6, a vote was cast to renew 500 members of the House of Representatives, governors of 15 states and some 20,000 local positions. Although Morena, the governing party, won the competition, it was not enough to reach the qualified majority in the House, which was the maximum objective. All in all, the governing coalition was consolidated after three years in office and is looking good ahead of the 2024 presidential elections.
