These are wonderful optics, but I'm sincerely concerned for this mans life. Good luck AMLO

There was a massive amount of violence during the election, with roughly 130 candidates and campaign staffers assassinated.

Mexico’s ruling party seeks way forward after drubbing
Quote:
 
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The landslide victory by Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in Mexico’s presidential election brought an abrupt end to the monopoly on power enjoyed by the Institutional Revolutionary Party, a nearly century-long dominance that cultivated corruption along with an extensive patronage system.

On Sunday night there were some tears, but no obvious shock or anger among the campaign workers streaming out of PRI headquarters after their candidate conceded the race within minutes of polling stations closing. Their party had finished a distant third.

Lopez Obrador, a populist and self-described leftist, had maintained a double-digit lead in the polls throughout the campaign, while PRI candidate Jose Antonio Meade’s message had never gained traction.

So, what happened?

The once mighty PRI, which held Mexico’s presidency for all but 12 of the last 89 years, was reduced to a distant third place in July 1 elections, on track to lose all of the governorships at stake and even the bulk of mayorships and congressional races in its last big urban bastion, the state of Mexico, which nearly surrounds Mexico City.

At that age, he's probably not tying his own tie.
