Background on Key Candidates
In the upcoming judicial elections in Mexico, Hugo Aguilar Ortiz and Yasmín Esquivel have emerged as the leading candidates for men and women, respectively. The recent Mitofsky poll for El Economista sheds light on voter preferences and awareness regarding the election process.
Who are Hugo Aguilar Ortiz and Yasmín Esquivel?
Hugo Aguilar Ortiz is a prominent Mexican lawyer and politician, known for his extensive experience in legal matters. He has served as a judge in various courts and is currently running for a position within the Mexican Judicial Power (PJF). Aguilar Ortiz’s background in law and his political career have positioned him as a strong contender in the upcoming election.
Yasmín Esquivel, on the other hand, is a well-known human rights activist and lawyer. She has dedicated her career to advocating for social justice, equality, and women’s rights. Esquivel’s extensive work in these areas has earned her respect and support from various communities, making her a leading candidate for the female judicial position.
Voter Awareness and Interest
The Mitofsky poll reveals that only a small percentage of Mexican citizens are well-informed about the election process for PJF members. According to the survey:
- 86.4% of respondents are unaware of the process to elect PJF members.
- 59% of respondents expressed little to no interest in learning about the election details.
This lack of awareness and interest among the general public could impact the upcoming judicial elections, as it may lead to lower voter turnout and reduced engagement in the democratic process.
