Mexico holds a state election on Sunday that looks poised to bolster President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador ahead of the race to succeed him, with his party forecast to capture the last major bastion of the country's old rulers.
The president's leftist National Regeneration Movement is expected to add the governorship of the State of Mexico to the 21 regional governments it already controls, two-thirds of the total.
A poll published this week by newspaper Reforma showed the gubernatorial race has narrowed, but still gave MORENA's candidate Delfina Gomez a 10 point-lead over Alejandra del Moral, a PRI politician fronting an opposition alliance. In a separate election on Sunday, the PRI is forecast to maintain the northern border state of Coahuila, where splits inside MORENA produced rival left-wing candidates. MORENA this week sought to consolidate support in Coahuila by pressuring one of its national allies to abandon the renegade contender.Lopez Obrador has dominated political life since taking office in December 2018, and his popularity, holding firm around 60%, has helped make MORENA a formidable electoral machine.
