The preliminary results of the National Electoral Institute (INE) determined that approximately 17% and 18.2% of the electoral roll went to the polls to vote in the revocation of the mandate of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), president of Mexico.

This means that turnout went from 15.7 million to 18.8 million voters both in Mexico and abroad, where more than 90% voted for the head of the Federal Executive to remain in office until 2024.

With this, various actors of public and political life in Mexico appeared, especially Morena, allies and supporters, or citizens who threw various words of congratulations to the president after being ratified by the people.

Such was the case of José Ramón López Beltrán, the eldest son of the president of Mexico, who is in the middle of one of the biggest controversies in Obrador's six-year term: “La Casa Gris”.

Through his social networks, he asked, first of all, that we never forget that “the people are the sovereign”, a prominent phrase in AMLO's message after voting day and its ratification.

“Let's not forget that the people are sovereign, we don't have a king in Mexico. There is no oligarchy, it is a democracy, it is the people who rule and decide,” said the president during his message published live on his official YouTube page.

On the other hand, he assured that what we are now experiencing is one of the “stellar moments in Mexico's public life”, since for the first time in history this exercise of participatory democracy was carried out.

After the first preliminary numbers of the revocation of the mandate were released, the governors of the National Regeneration Movement made a joint statement.

Through social networks, they circulated the statement to the public in which they not only congratulated and celebrated the revocation of AMLO's mandate, where the majority asked that he continue to head the Federal Executive, because they took the opportunity to throw him at the National Electoral Institute (INE).

In it, they criticized the members of the INE for allegedly “doing everything to avoid the participation” of the people of Mexico, and listed the following attitudes:

“The appointment of the date on the Sunday before Holy Week, the installation of a third of the squares regarding a constitutional election, its remoteness and poor location, the failure to previously inform the location of the same, as well as last-minute changes...”

However, they considered that Mexico is now an example of democracy for everyone, thanks to the fact that, despite everything mentioned, “the people voted and ratified our president.”

“It is an honor to be part of this stellar moment in the history of Mexico,” they wrote through the format circulated by their official Twitter accounts.

The signatories were: Marina del Pilar Avila, for Baja California; Victor Manuel Castro, from Baja California Sur; Layda Sansores, for Campeche; Rutilio Cruz Escandón, from Chiapas; Indira Vizcaino, from Colima; Evelyn Salgado, for Guerrero; Alfredo Ramirez, for Michoacán; Cuauhtémoc Blanco, from Morelos; Miguel Ángel Navarro, from Nayarit; Miguel Barbosa, for Puebla; Ricardo Gallardo, from San Luis; Rubén Rocha, for Sinaloa; Alfonso Durazo, from Sonora; Carlos Manuel Merino, from Tabasco; Lorena Cuéllar, for Tlaxcala; Cuitlahuac García, from Veracruz; and David Monreal, for the State of Zacatecas.

For his part, Andrés Manuel López Obrador published a video message for all the people of Mexico, and celebrated that it is “a step forward in the purpose of asserting our democracy and not to stay alone in the representative, to advance to the representative, that is the essence of democracy”.

Already for presidents who in the future could be tried with a revocation of mandate, López Obrador suggested that, if they lose with a majority, even if they do not have 40% partition to make it binding, they leave office to the next president.
