By Claudia Sheinbaum was sworn in as Mexico’s first woman president in a ceremony on Tuesday in the nation’s lower house of Congress.
Her term will run through 2030.
Sheinbaum takes over from outgoing president – and close Morena party ally – Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
The 62-year-old climate scientist and former mayor of Mexico City is set to serve a six-year term, ending in 2030.
Sheinbaum took the oath of office in front of parliamentarians, as her supporters chanted “President! President!” and “Long live Mexico!”
“Now is the time of transformation, now is the time of women,” Sheinbaum said.
She enters office with her party holding supermajority control in the legislature’s lower house, and nearly the same in the Senate, and immediately sought to reassure investors, saying that investments will be safe in Mexico.
