Mexico celebrates an electoral day this Sunday in which all attention is focused on who will become governor in the State of Mexico for the period 2023-2029, the ultimate litmus test for the once dominant PRI, which after 94 years may lose its hegemony in that area, despite the fact that this time it is in a coalition.

Between both states, almost 15 million voters are called to vote, 2.3 million in Coahuila and 12.5 million in the State of Mexico, and although population representation is important, it is vital in terms of resource control and political weight.
