With 92.01 percent of the polling stations counted, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, of the Let's Keep Making History coalition (Morena, PT, and Verde), had 59.95 percent of the votes cast in the presidential elections, equivalent to 33.16 million votes, according to district counts from the National Electoral Institute (INE).
Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz, of the Fuerza y Corazón por México alliance (PRI, PAN and PRD), had, at that same time, 15.08 million votes, or 27.26 percent, as of midnight on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, for Jorge Álvarez Máynez, of the Citizen Movement, 5.6 million votes (10.30 percent) were reported.
Thus, the trends revealed by the quick count, released on Sunday, and the Preliminary Election Results Program (PREP) were consistent, according to the parameters of each tool, and during the early hours of Thursday, they were confirmed with the district counts, declaring Sheinbaum the winner.
The results are the only ones that are official and legally valid, issued after the general review and the opening of the ballots, with the respective vote count of 67 percent of the ballots, plus any that may be authorized by the district councils at the request of the parties.
The PREP, a provisional information mechanism, although developed based on images of 162,517 results records (out of a possible 170,648), is merely a statistical resource; after 24 hours of operation, it closed with 95.2 percent of the potential records from these elections.
That tool gave Sheinbaum 33.2 million votes; her main contender, Gálvez, 15.6 million; and the member of the MC (Mexico City Council) 5.8 million.
Similarly, in the PREP, citizen participation was 60.92 percent, a similar level to the counts, and 61.2 percent in the computations.
