Exit poll from @ElFinanciero_Mx
AMLO: 49%
Anaya: 27%
Meade: 18%
Bronco: 6%
An absolute disaster for the PAN and even worse for the PRI. Fantastic result for AMLO, though he’ll want to break the 50% barrier. Hard to see him failing to collect a majority in the congress with this result
Perhaps disaster for the PAN is harsh. Remember one year ago many people thought someone could win this election with 30% of the vote, in a close three-way election with independents. Anaya got 27%. But AMLO just had a great campaign
The lowest point in the PRI’s history was 2006. It won 22%. Tonight is a catastrophe for them. Inexplicably, the campaign shouted “vamos a ganar” until the final day. Baffling.
Meade is on TV now, conceding to AMLO. This mess won’t be his problem
Now the INE is starting to count the votes. Follow along here dtm2018.ine.mx/#/presidencia/…
INE projecting a turnout of 62.9%, about the same as 2012
18 votes counted so far for Margarita Zavala
#remontada? #MexicoVoto2018
Anaya out now. Briefly congratulates AMLO and gets straight into trashing the government for setting the attorney-general on him in the middle of the campaign
All candidates have now conceded. This is happening for real. Mexico is going to have a leftist president
24 states have started counting votes.
Meade is winning in San Luís Potosí.
Anaya is winning in Guanajuato and Aguascalientes.
AMLO is winning in the other 21.
The PRI is currently polling third (!) in Estado de Mexico.
AMLO with 53% of the vote there.
Yikes. AMLO is on track to win 80% of votes in Tabasco
