The United Mexican States is bordered to the north by the USA, and to the south by Guatemala and Belize. From 1929 until 2000 the country was dominated by the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), for much of that time in an effective one-party system, although a democratic form of election was maintained. In 2000 Vicente Fox of the Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) was elected President, ending the PRI’s 71-year hegemony in government. Felipe Calderón, also of the PAN, succeeded him in 2006. The PRI regained power in 2012, but in 2018 Manuel Andr�s L�pez Obrador of the left-wing Movimiento Regeneraci�n Nacional was elected President. In June 2024 L�pez Obrador�s proteg�e, Claudia Sheinbaum, won the election to succeed him and was scheduled to take office on 1 October. Mexico City is the capital. Spanish is the principal language
