Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador easily survives divisive referendum on whether he should step down or complete his term, initial results shows
Mexican President Lopez Obrador and his wife Beatriz Gutierrez show their voter ID after voting at a polling station in Mexico City, on April 10, 2022.
The turnout rate was between 17 and 18.2 percent, meaning that even if Lopez Obrador had lost, the result would not have been legally binding. "Now we have the chance to change what's not right. There have been presidents who, after being elected by the people, ended up serving other interests," Benigno Gasca, a 57-year-old mathematician and musician, told the AFP news agency.But critics saw it as expensive propaganda and an unnecessary distraction from the many challenges facing the country, including drug-related violence, poverty and the rising cost of living.
