It's official; Enrique Pena Nieto is the primary candidate for the PRI Party for the 2012 Mexican Elections. At 45, he is a young presidential candidate, but has experience of an older politician. It is true that Enrique Pena Nieto is related to other politicians, but to his credit, he has made an effort to better himself with a law degree as well as an MBA.
He became familiar with the PRI when he became a member in 1984. Initially, he worked as an instructor in PRI's Electoral Training Center and later on became Coordinator for the party's Parliamentary Group in the LV Legislature. He also held the job as Chairman of the Political Board of the same legislature.
He was involved in the Mexican State government from the 90's up until 2002. He held various positions such as Government Administration Secretary, President of the Directive Council for the Social Security Institute, President of the Internal Council of Health Institute and Vice President of the Government Board for Integral Family Development System During this period, he also secured membership to the National Institute of Public Administration and the Administrative Council for Decentralized Public Agencies.
Enrique Pena Nieto has shown his versatility by also working as a political advisor to PRI National. His long term dedication to the party has paid off with his elevation to position of presidential candidate. His move from state government to presidential candidate has been seamless.
He promoted candidates for governorship of the state of Mexico in 2004 from within and knows firsthand about the process. He came out ahead of other candidates such as, Guillermo González Martínez, Gustavo Cárdenas Monroy, Jaime Vázquez Castillo, Eduardo Bernal Martínez, Fernando Alberto García Cuevas, Cuauhtémoc García Ortega, Isidro Pastor Medrano, Enrique Jacob Rocha, Héctor Luna de la Vega and Carlos Hank Rhon. He represented the PRI as the gubernatorial candidate in February of 2005.
The race was over on July 3, 2005. He won by a landslide with a vote of 49 percent. On September 15, 2005, he was sworn in as constitutional Governor of the state of Mexico at the Morelos Theater in Toluca before a crowd of 5,000 people.
The environment, energy reform and sustainable development and the acceleration of educational reform in support of youth empowerment and employment generation were his priorities when he became governor. A true politician, he proved himself extremely capable of handling conflict within the party. Positive advances with respect to the state's economy, housing and agriculture sectors were achieved during his term.
His presidential run began as his gubernatorial term was finished. Oddly, Senator Manlio Fabio Beltrones, his only opponent decided not to run. Beltrones's withdrawal paved the way for Peña Nieto's designation as the standard bearer of his party for the 2012 Presidential Elections.
Although there has been a lot of talk of illegitimacy, Pena Nieto is considered to be the next president of Mexico. As part of his campaign to become president, he has held pretend presidential polls against his opponents. July 1, 2012, will mark a new era in politics for Mexico, when the people will elect a new President.
The PRI hope for a sweeping victory because of the popularity of their candidate. Mexico has always called their head of state president, but truthfully, men who were more like dictators have ruled Mexico, and Enrique Pena Nieto hopes to change all that. Pena Nieto looks forward to a Mexico free from marauding and fleeing citizens.
