Already in the final stage of the electoral process, the polarization is evident and each one gives its percentages and sure victories in Aguascalientes, Durango, Hidalgo, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo and Tamaulipas, the six states that will have to choose their new governments.

At present, Aguascalientes, Durango, Quintana Roo and Tamaulipas states are in the hands of the National Action Party (PAN), while Hidalgo and Oaxaca are bastions of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

The Juntos Haremos Historia (Together We Will Make History) coalition, headed by the ruling MORENA party founded by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, currently dominates 16 states, included Mexico City, plus one state from the Green Party, which is a member of the group.

If it wins the six states in dispute, as its leaders assure in each of them, the ruling party would dominate 23 of 32 states and the opposition party, which now governs in 15 of them, would be left with only nine states.

According to several media sources, the local polls in each state in dispute at this moment indicate MORENA’s advantage in the six states, in some of them very wide and in others quite close.
