July 5, 2018

113 out of 125 municipalities had concluded ballot counting; as well as 42 out of 45 district councils stating the evident advantage of the coalition ‘juntos haremos historia´ by delivering records of majority in the past 1st July ballot.

Over the day there was possible to achieve counting despite several quarrels that occurred throughout the State of Mexico. Finally, victory was announced for the coalition Juntos Haremos Historia in Naucalpan, Tlalnepantla, and Toluca where none of the aldermen looking for a consecutive election pulled it off.

In the interim, the electoral institute of state of Mexico (IEEM) general council’s Follow-up meeting completed 2 out of 4 residual computations accorded owing to the hostile social conditions in Villa Guerrero and Amanalco de Becerra where ballots were arson. Due to similar situations, alternative headquarters were installed in order to continue with computing in Jiquipilco and Villa del Carbón.

At the same time a supplementary vote computing was approved for the municipality of Villa Guerrero with a 21ballot packets count under the chairmanship of Electoral counselor Laura Daniella Durán Ceja, the president counselor, Pedro Zamudio Godinez, executive secretary Francisco Javier Lopez Corral, Electoral Counselor Saul Mandujano Rubio and several political parties’ representatives.

Regarding the 2017-2018 Amanalco´s supplementary votes computing for town hall members, INE’S staff was in charge of saving, translating and safeguarding the electoral packs from the respective electoral board to the central organ in order to achieve computing.

RESULTS OF JUNTOS HAREMOS HISTORIA ARE CONFIRMED

On the other side, during the past Thursday candidates of Juntos Haremos Historia- Juan Rodolfo Sanchez Gomez from Toluca, Patricia Durán from Naucalpan and Raciel Perez Cruz from Tlalnepantla- received their respective majority records with overwhelming triumph over the PRI’S candidates of the coalition for the state of Mexico.

Likewise, it was a day full of protest. Hundreds of followers of the two times alderman in Jiquipilco Carlos Sanchez from Partido Del Trabajo took position outside the electoral to headquarter of the IEEM in order to protest for the delay of the vote computing. This is why the ballot packs had to be translated to Toluca for counting.
