Mexicans Elect Their Next President

On July 1, Mexicans went to the polls to elect their next President. From before the elections, the sentiment among most netizens was that it would be a close race between Enrique Pea Nieto (EPN) from the Institutional Revolutionary Party and Andrs Manuel Lpez Obrador (AMLO) from the Party of the Democratic Revolution, although supporters of Josefina Vzquez Mota (from the current ruling party) did not lose hope. As soon as the polls opened, netizens began to share their thoughts and experiences.

Twitter user @YONOFUI affirmed:

Hoy es el primer da de un pas q comenzar a madurar y se dar cuenta que sin trabajo ciudadano no habr logros

Today is the first day of a country which will begin to grow and realize that without citizen work there will be no achievements.
