Mexico elects New President--Andres Obrador aka AMLO


This is Andrés Manuel López Obrador, also known as "AMLO." The 64-year-old emerged as the country's president on Sunday night with around 53% of the vote.
He grew in a middle-class family in Tabasco state, the son of a petroleum merchant during Mexico's oil boom. His friends at the time thought he too would become a businessman, but he chose to become a political activist and a human rights lawyer fighting against big oi.l companies in his 20s instead.
On December 1, he will take over from Enrique Peña Nieto, who leaves the presidency with a mere 17% approval rating, and who clashed with Donald Trump over trade and the proposed US-Mexico border wall.
Mexico presidents are limited to one six-year term, called a sexenio, so Peña Nieto did not run against López Obrador this year.
