Voters elected a new President of Mexico to serve a term of five years and ten months ( reduced by two months from the constitutional mandate due to a change in the inauguration date as of 2014 ), 128 members of the Senate for a period of six years and 500 members of the Chamber of Deputies for a period of three years. It was one of the largest election days in Mexican history, with most of the nation 's states holding state and local elections on the same day, including nine governorships, with over 3,400 positions subject to elections at all levels of government. It has been the most violent campaign Mexico has experienced in recent history, with 130 political figures killed since September 2017. The incumbent president Enrique Peña Nieto was not constitutionally eligible for a second term. Incumbent members of the legislature are term - limited, thus all members of Congress will be newly elected. As a consequence of the political reform of 2014, the members of the legislature elected in this election will be the first allowed to run for reelection in subsequent elections. The National Electoral Institute ( INE ) officially declared the new process underway on 8 September 2017. The presidential election was won by Andrés Manuel López Obrador of the National Regeneration Movement ( MORENA ), running as the candidate of the Juntos Haremos Historia alliance. This is the first time a candidate won an outright majority ( according to official vote counts ) since 1988, and the first time that a candidate not from the Institutional Revolutionary Party ( PRI ) or its predecessors has done so since the Mexican Revolution. This election also marked both the worst electoral defeat suffered by the PRI and the worst electoral defeat for a sitting Mexican government since universal suffrage was adopted in the country.

The 500 members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected to three - year terms by two methods ; 300 are elected in single - member constituencies by first - past - the - post voting, with the remaining 200 elected from five regional constituencies by proportional representation, with seats allocated using the simple quotient and largest remainder method. No party is allowed to hold more than 300 seats. Members may hold office for up to four consecutive terms. The 128 members of the Senate are elected to six - year terms, concurrent with the president, and also elected by two methods, with 96 elected in 32 three - member constituencies based on the states and 32 elected in a single nationwide constituency by proportional representation. In the three - member constituencies, two winning candidates shall be allocated to the party receiving the highest number of votes and one seat to the party receiving the second - highest number of votes. Members may hold office for up to two terms. Presidential candidates Por Mexico al Frente Main article : Por México al Frente ( English : `` For Mexico to the Front '' ) The center - right National Action Party and the center - left Party of the Democratic Revolution and Citizens ' Movement -- which both nominated Andrés Manuel López Obrador in the elections of 2006 and 2012 -- formed an alliance for the election, in an effort to defeat both the ruling party, the PRI, and the front - runner Andrés Manuel López Obrador of the National Regeneration Movement. On 5 September, the electoral alliance was officially registered with the INE as Frente Ciudadano por México ( Citizen Front for Mexico ). On 8 December the coalition changed its name to Por México al Frente ( Mexico to the Front ). The next day, Ricardo Anaya Cortés, president of the PAN, resigned from his position and expressed his intent to be the alliance 's candidate. The former first lady Margarita Zavala submitted her resignation from the PAN on 6 October, after having been a member for 33 years, and registered as an independent candidate six days later. She sought the presidency through an independent bid, but withdrew on 16 May 2018. Nominee Ricardo Anaya Cortés, former president of the National Action Party. Todos por Mexico Main article : Todos por México ( English : `` Everyone for Mexico '' ) The coalition is composed of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico, and the PANAL. On 9 August 2017, the PRI revised its requirements for presidential candidates, eliminating the requirement that candidates must have 10 years of party membership, and allowing non-party members to lead the party. This move benefited finance secretary José Antonio Meade Kuribreña, who is not a member of the PRI, as well as education secretary Aurelio Nuño Mayer, whose length of membership had been questioned. Meade was considered the favorite, because while the PRI had been dogged by scandal and controversy, Meade had been personally unaffected. On 27 November, Meade resigned from cabinet and announced his intention to be the PRI 's candidate in the upcoming election. He quickly received the support of President Peña Nieto and PRI - linked institutions such as the CTM union. With no challengers, Meade became the presumptive nominee. On 18 February 2018, the PRI held its convention of delegates, where Meade was formally selected as the party 's presidential candidate. Meade is the PRI 's first presidential candidate in its almost 90 - year history not to be a member of the party. Due to the circumstances of Meade 's candidacy, critics compared his selection to the PRI 's historical practice of dedazo ( `` tap of the finger '' ), where presidents hand - picked their successor. The coalition was initially named Meade Ciudadano por México ( English : Citizen Meade for Mexico ), until the INE deemed it unconstitutional to include a candidate 's name within the coalition 's name, on the grounds that the presidential candidate would receive advertising from every piece of campaign advertising of the coalition used for local candidates. The coalition subsequently changed its name to Todos por México ( Everyone for Mexico ). Nominee José Antonio Meade Kuribreña, former Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Secretary of Social Development, and Secretary of Finance and Public Credit during the Peña Nieto administration ; Secretary of Finance and Public Credit and Secretary of Energy during the Felipe Calderón administration. Juntos Haremos Historia Main article : Juntos Haremos Historia ( English : `` Together We Will Make History '' ) The coalition is composed of the National Regeneration Movement ( MORENA ), the Labor Party, and the Social Encounter Party. On 12 December Andrés Manuel López Obrador registered as the presumptive nominee for MORENA and submitted his resignation as party president. This is López Obrador 's third presidential bid ; the previous two attempts were with the PRD. After the 2012 presidential election, López Obrador left the PRD to found MORENA. This is MORENA 's first presidential election. Joining MORENA in the Juntos Haremos Historia coalition is the left - wing Labor Party and the right - wing Social Encounter Party. Nominee Andrés Manuel López Obrador, former Head of Government of Mexico City, 2006 and 2012 presidential candidate. Independents Logo for Rodríguez 's campaign For the first time in Mexico 's modern democratic history, candidates were allowed to run for the presidency as independents. Several people announced their intention to contest the election as an independent candidate. Margarita Zavala, a lawyer, former deputy and wife of former president Felipe Calderón, had originally intended to run as the PAN nominee ; however, on 6 October, she left the party and launched an independent bid. Explaining her decision, she said that the formation of Por México al Frente meant there would be no internal PAN selection, denying her a chance to be a candidate. Jaime Rodríguez Calderón, the independent governor of Nuevo León, also announced his candidacy, as did Senator Armando Ríos Piter. The National Indigenous Congress announced on 28 May 2017 the election of María de Jesús Patricio Martínez as their spokeswoman and indigenous representative for the 2018 general election, aiming to obtain an independent candidacy. Only Zavala gathered enough signatures to appear on the ballot ; however, on 10 April the Electoral Court accepted an appeal from Rodríguez and ordered the National Electoral Institute to register him as candidate. On 16 May Zavala announced she was withdrawing her candidacy. Opinion polls Main article : Opinion polling for the Mexican general election, 2018 Historical trend of voting intentions for the candidates for the Mexican presidency in 2018. Campaigns Timeline January As in the 2006 and 2012 federal elections, the 2018 campaign featured numerous accusations and attack advertisements directed at the leftist frontrunner candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who contested the elections with the support of his party MORENA. A Red Scare - like campaign was used by the PRI and PAN candidates to convince voters that a López Obrador victory would turn Mexico into `` another Venezuela ''. In a speech, PRI president Enrique Ochoa Reza ( es ) said that `` if the people from MORENA like Venezuela so much, they should just go and live there ''. The PRI was believed to have hired Venezuelan right - wing political strategist JJ Rendón to work in their campaign, as he stated in January that he would do `` everything within the law to prevent López Obrador from becoming President '' ; Rendón had previously worked for the PRI during Peña Nieto 's 2012 presidential campaign. In January, former president Felipe Calderón shared a video on via social media, in which a Venezuelan citizen living in Mexico warned voters not to vote for López Obrador, as he would put Mexico in the `` path to ruin '' like Chavismo had done in her country. It later surfaced that the woman, whose name is Carmen Martilez, is an actress who previously had uploaded a video in which she asked for street vendors to be `` exterminated ''. That same month, the PRI began to claim that López Obrador 's campaign was supported by `` Venezuelan and Russian interests ''. López Obrador dismissed the accusations and later joked about them, calling himself `` Andrés Manuelovich ''. Later in January, citizens across the country received phone calls originating in the city of Puebla, in which a recorded message warned them not to vote for López Obrador because he supposedly agreed to sell Mexico 's oil to `` the Russians ''. The MORENA representative in Puebla asked for an investigation into the phone calls. In March, telephone company Axtel traced the number that made the calls, revealing it was a number that the government of Puebla ( whose governor is from the PAN ) controlled. Puebla 's government denied the accusations. Also in January, López Obrador uploaded a video via social media asking president Peña Nieto and PRI president Ochoa Reza to `` calm down '', and advised them to take some `` López Obradordipine ''. A jingle entitled Movimiento Naranja, which was recorded for the political party Movimiento Ciudadano ( which is part of the Por México al Frente coalition, along with the PAN and the PRD ) and performed by an indigenous child called Yuawi, became viral and Yuawi turned into a celebrity overnight. Drawing on its success, the pre-candidate for the Frente, Ricardo Anaya recorded a video in which he performed the song with Yuawi. PRI candidate José Antonio Meade was accused of plagiarism when it was noted that one of his ads, in which he criticized a `` populist '' speech on TV, was identical to an ad that had been used by Justin Trudeau when he became leader of the Liberal Party of Canada in 2013. February Later in February, the PRI 's Enrique Ochoa Reza tweeted that PRI politicians who defected to MORENA as Prietos que no aprietan ( Dark - skinned people who ca n't get a hold ) while trying to make a pun on the word PRI - etos ( because morena is a synonym for prieto ). The expression was criticized, and Ochoa Reza quickly deleted the tweet as it was interpreted to be racist. Aristegui Noticias published that Ochoa Reza apologized, and also criticized the insensitive expression, additionally commenting that the part que ya no aprietan ( who can not hold ) could also be interpreted as misogynistic due to being a double entendre referring to women in relation to the number of sexual relations they have had in their lifetime. Ochoa Reza 's tweet apologized to dark - skinned people but not to women. Later Sinembargo.mx revealed that José Antonio Meade justified Enrique Ochoa 's usage of the expression, by saying : uno se excede y es natural ( English : one gets - ahead - of - themselves and it is natural ) and saying that his quick apology talked positively about him. March In March, the Attorney General of the Republic ( PGR ) started an official investigation into money - laundering allegations against Ricardo Anaya. During the investigation, Santiago Nieto, the ex-chief of FEPADE ( the government branch focused on political crimes ). Nieto the previous October had been controversially removed from his job as chief of FEPADE, coincidentally right after starting an investigation regarding illicit campaign money from the 2012 presidential campaign that allegedly was received by Peña Nieto and by the future president of Pemex, Emilio Lozoya, from the Brazilian conglomerate Odebrecht. The ex-chief of FEPADE said that the accusations against Anaya were minor in comparison to Odebretch and Peña Nieto scandal, adding also the same opinion about the money lost by Secretariat of Social Development, to corrupt governors from the PRI such as Javier Duarte, all while José Antonio Meade was the man in charge of the Secretariat of Social Development. The scandal is known as La Estafa Maestra ( The Master Robbery ), and about 435 million pesos were lost. The same week the PRI legislators were criticized for voting for stopping the investigation of Odebretch against the wishes of Mexican people and organizations campaigning against corruption such as Mexicanos contra la corrupción ( Mexicans against corruption ). The investigation about Odebretch against the Pemex leader at the time, Lozoya, was legally stopped after a judge controversially ordered it days after. Santiago Nieto said that the PGR was being used by Peña Nieto 's government to tamper with elections and benefit Meade by removing Anaya from the race, complaining that it was a politically motivated use of law - enforcement agencies, which had made more efforts to investigate Anaya in a month than towards investigating Peña Nieto 's Odebretch money and Meade 's lost Secretariat of Social Development funds over the last six years. Santiago Nieto said the PGR and FEPADE were only attacking the rivals of the PRI, and the investigating organizations were not being neutral. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Santiago Nieto would later reveal that Peña Nieto 's government tried to bribe him to keep him silent, which he refused saying, `` Sorry, but I ca n't receive any money from Peña Nieto. '' He received menacing phone messages stating : `` Death follows you '' and `` Words of advice : stay out of Trouble '', and as a consequence, he feared for the safety of his, and his family 's lives. Additionally as of 2018, it should be noted, that many of the politicians of the PRI political party who supported Peña Nieto during his presidential campaign would be later declared criminals by the Mexican government ( some already elected, while others were campaigning concurrently with Peña Nieto, and would be elected ), near the end of Peña Nieto 's time as president. A total of 22 state ex-governors, all members from the PRI, had been accused of misuse of public funds and misdirection of money ( with some money speculated to have been directed to the PRI ) ; only five were sent to jail, with PGR receiving criticism for not investigating further. Among the most prominent criminals were : Tomás Yarrington from Tamaulipas ( along his predecessor Eugenio Hernández Flores ), Javier Duarte from Veracruz, César Duarte Jáquez from Chihuahua ( no family relation between the two Duartes ), and Roberto Borge from Quintana Roo, along their unknown multiple allies who enabled their corruption. While, although Peña Nieto has not been found to be an ally of them, by being part of the same political party, there were severely negative consequences to Peña Nieto 's image as president, as well as of the PRI. Also, while not a member of the PRI at the time, Meade 's image also received damage, because much of the money was lost while he was in charge of the Secretariat of Social Development, the government ministry that supervises the resources received by each state. Despite the overwhelming evidence against César Duarte, in March 2018 the PGR found him innocent of any crime. The successor governor Javier Corral from the PAN, who previously fought against the Televisa law, gave a similar opinion to Santiago Nieto, saying the PGR was being used to protect the allies of Peña Nieto and the PRI, and attack their rivals. López Obrador said that failure to take action against Duarte was one of the main reasons why Mexicans had lost their faith in the PRI, saying the few ex-governors that were declared criminals were only to a pretense of concern. April and May After, Meade decided to change his strategy ; and due to his poor reception, Ochoa Reza left his position as president of the PRI on 2 May. On 16 May, Margarita Zavala suspended her presidential campaign. Santiago Nieto decided to join AMLO 's campaign, with both promising to continue the investigation into the alleged scandal involving Peña Nieto, the PRI and Odebretch. Meanwhile, César Duarte disappeared before being incarcerated, and was subsequently declared a fugitive from justice by the PGR. More than 130 political figures were been killed from when the campaign began in September 2017 until July 2018. Promises and proposals López Obrador promised to end many of the benefits received by ex-presidents, particularly the lifelong pension they receive. He added that he would redirect the money saved to be used to help senior citizens. Zavala said she would also attempt to end the practice, though she had not decided how to use the money saved, while Meade and Anaya said they would keep the practice going. Anaya promised to implement a basic income for Mexican citizens, Anaya said Nobel prize - winning economist Milton Friedman supported the idea. While well received, El Economista criticized how Anaya announced it, and called the idea populist. Meade proposed to create an office that would track the unique needs of each individual citizen, in what he would call Registro Único de Necesidades de Cada Persona ( Unique Register of the Necessities of Each Person ). Citizens on social media mocked the idea as absurd and impossible to develop, comparing it to writing letters to Santa Claus or just plainly asking for miracles. Meade has supported Peña Nieto 's energy reforms, saying that `` everyone wins with the gasolinazo '', and announcing that if he won he intended to continue it. López Obrador promised to end the gasolinazos by building two new fuel refineries, which would allow more petroleum to be processed into gasoline domestically, thus lowering the price by not outsourcing the refining to other countries. Anaya promised to investigate and do everything to make sure President Peña Nieto is sent to jail for his aforementioned multiple presidential scandals, with López Obrador agreeing and suggesting to up the ante by also investigating every living former president. On 26 January, López Obrador accused the International Monetary Fund of being an accomplice to corruption in Mexican politics and claimed that its policies are in part responsible for poverty, unemployment, and violence in the country. López Obrador promised that if he won the presidency, Mexico will follow `` its own agenda ''. López Obrador called for a change in security strategy and offered the controversial proposal of giving amnesty for drug dealers as a way to combat the drug cartels. During a debate in April, Rodríguez Calderón said `` We have to cut off the hands of those who rob ( in public service ). It 's that simple. '' He later explained that it was intended to be applied to both criminals and government functionaries involved in acts of corruption citing the application of this measure in Saudi Arabia as an example to reduce corruption and violence. Rodríguez Calderón was trending ahead of the other candidates on Twitter during the debate. Rodríguez Calderón later proposed to bring back the death penalty ( currently constitutionally abolished in Mexico and enforced for the last time in 1961 ) for drug traffickers, hijackers, infanticides and serial killers. Controversies Ballot access requirements The candidate put forward by the National Indigenous Congress and the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, María de Jesús Patricio Martínez ( Marichuy ), alleged that the process for collecting signatures to attain ballot access unfairly benefits the rich. Marichuy said, `` the INE made a list of telephone makes and models so that you must have at a minimum an Android 5.0 operating system or higher and so many hours to begin with the download of the applications in the devices, we find that the list is not true ; we find brands that are not included in the list and of those that are included they do n't all work. The download is tedious and can take hours. '' The INE declared each signature registration would take 4.3 minutes, but each actual signature registration has taken up to 16 hours, or more. ' With these `` classist, racist and excluding measures, '' Marichuy said, you realize `` that this electoral system is not made for those peoples below that govern ourselves and that the laws and institutions of the State are made for those above, for the capitalists and their corrupt political class, resulting in a big simulation. '' Ultimately she was not able to obtain ballot access. PRI payments to Cambridge Analytica After the Facebook -- Cambridge Analytica data scandal, in April 2018, Forbes published information from the British news program Channel 4 News that had mentioned the existence of proof revealing ties between the PRI and Cambridge Analytica, suggesting a modus operandi similar to the one in the United States. The info said they worked together at least until January. An investigation was requested. The New York Times obtained the 57 page proposal of Cambridge Analytica 's proposed collaboration strategy to benefit the PRI by hurting MORENA 's candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador ; the political party rejected the offer but still paid Cambridge Analytica to not help the other candidates. Allegations of foreign intervention In April 2017, the US Secretary of Homeland Security, John F. Kelly, stated that the election of a left - wing president in Mexico `` would not be good for America or Mexico ''. The statement was widely believed to be a reference to López Obrador, the leftist, frontrunner candidate, and created controversy in Mexico, as it seemed to be an attempt to influence the election against him. In December 2017, US National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster claimed that Russia had launched a campaign to `` influence Mexico 's 2018 presidential election and stir up division '', without defining the methods of the supposed meddling, or indicating which would be the candidate favored by the Kremlin. The Russian government has denied the claims. PRI president Enrique Ochoa Reza claimed that `` Russian and Venezuelan interests '' are supporting López Obrador 's campaign. López Obrador responded that Ochoa 's declarations are part of a smear campaign against him, and later posted a video via social media, where he joked about the claims and called himself `` Andres Manuelovich ''. Guatemalan right - wing commentator Gloria Álvarez embarked on a tour through Mexico, calling López Obrador a `` dangerous populist '' and urging citizens not to vote for him. She was invited to a PAN legislators assembly on 31 January, where she criticized the alliance with the PRD, which she called `` a party just like MORENA ''. US Senators Bob Menendez and Marco Rubio asked US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to `` fight Russian meddling '' in the Mexican elections. On 2 February during a summit in Mexico, Tillerson stated that Mexico should `` beware the Russian interference ''. Dr. Tony Payan, director of the Mexico Center at Rice University noted that there has been no evidence of actual Russian tampering in the Mexican electoral process, and considered the accusations `` absurd '' given that the Trump administration `` will not admit Russia interfered in the US election ''. Possibility of election tampering Bloomberg warned about the possibility of the PRI committing electoral fraud, with Tony Payan, director of the Mexico Center at Rice University 's Baker Institute in Houston, United States, suggesting that both vote buyout and computer hackings were possible and citing irregularities in the 1988 electoral process. Bloomberg 's article also suggested Meade could be receiving unfair help from the over-budget amounts of money spent on publicity by incumbent president Enrique Peña Nieto. Additionally, Meade spent more money on pre-campaign efforts than López Obrador and Anaya together, while failing to report where his funds came from ; in contrast, López Obrador has attended the most events while spending the least money and successfully reported better than his rivals where he obtained the resources to pay for those events. Prior PRI election tampering controversies in 2017 During 2017, the PRI had faced allegations of electoral fraud concerning the election of Peña Nieto 's cousin Alfredo del Mazo Maza as Governor of the state of Mexico. Despite the official vote results given by the INE ( Electoral National Institute ) giving the win to del Mazo, the election was marred by irregularities including reports of vote - buying, spending beyond legal campaign finance limits, and electoral counts that gave del Mazo extra votes that awarded the election to him. In November 2017, left - wing magazine Proceso published an article accusing the PRI of breaking at least 16 state laws during the elections, which were denounced 619 times. They said that all of them were broken in order to favor del Mazo during the election. Results President López Obrador won the election on 1 July 2018 with over 50 % of the popular vote. In terms of states won, López Obrador won in a landslide, carrying 31 out of 32 of the country 's states, the most states won by a candidate since Ernesto Zedillo won every state in the 1994 election. Around 30 minutes after polls closed in the country 's north - west, José Antonio Meade, speaking at a news conference from PRI headquarters, conceded defeat and wished López Obrador `` every success ''. Ricardo Anaya also conceded defeat within an hour of the polls closing, and independent candidate Jaime Rodríguez Calderón recognized López Obrador 's victory shortly afterward. The results of the INE 's official quick count were announced around midnight Mexico City time.
