As a result of July's presidential election, Andrés
Manuel López Obrador became the new president of Mexico,
winning by a wide margin over his competitors. He took office on
December 1, 2018, for a six-year term extending from 2018-2024. New
members of the Congress of the Union, which, for the most part,
integrates members of López Obrador's political party,
MORENA, took office on August 29, 2018, and started working on
September 01 of the same year.
As a result, President López Obrador has significant
support in the legislature (Congress and Senate); therefore, all
new laws and amendments proposed during López Obrador's
presidential campaign will almost certainly pass on a fast track
mode.
