ELECTIONS
IN MEXICO - 2003
The last elections celebrated
in Mexico were on July 6, 2003 to choose the representatives for the
federal Congress and for the local Congress in Mexico City, as well
as municipal and state governors.
The Green Party of Mexico managed to consolidate its place as the
fourth political force at national level and third in five states
of the Republic, thanks to its ascending tendency of a 50 percent
in the electoral preference.
With more than 1 million 500 thousand votes, of which 30 percent were
of young people between 33 and 18 years, the Green Party obtained
a 6.5% of the electoral preferences, becoming the only party in reaching
an increase of that magnitude.
According to the determination of the electorate the Green Party gained
three delegations of relative majority: District 18 with head in Huixquilucan,
State of Mexico, District 27 in Metepec, State of Mexico and District
3 of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.
The electoral decision of the Mexicans chose the Green Party of Mexico
as the third political force in the States of Baja California, Quintana
Roo, Coahuila, Jalisco and Aguascalientes.
With the "Alianza para Todos" (Alliance for All) in 10 states
of the Republic, the coalition obtained the triumph of the state governors
in Campeche with Carlos Hurtado, Sonora with Eduardo Bours, and Nuevo
Leon with Natividad González.
We were also able to place 5 deputies in the Legislative Assembly
of the Distrito Federal, 17 federal representatives in the H. Congreso
de la Union (Congress) and previously (year 2000) 5 Senators of the
Republic.
