Fox won a majority of the vote in the four largest cities in the state, performing best in the cities of León and Irapuato, while winning by a more narrow margin in the city of Guanajuato. Impact and legacy The Los Angeles Times reported that Fox's victory could be credited to voters' "fury at government mismanagement that led to the economic crisis and at the unpopular measures that followed it" under the PRI. In its write-up, The Los Angeles Times noted that PRI president Ernesto Zedillo had won the state in the 1994 presidential election, and that Fox's victory could "launch his bid to be Mexico's first opposition party president in seven decades". The election was held on the same day as Yucatán's competitive gubernatorial election, in which PAN's candidate lost by a narrow margin. The Los Angeles Times characterized the results of the two elections as "herald[ing] a new era of fierce competition between Mexico's ruling party and the conservative National Action Party".Fineman Mark Darling Juanita 1995-05-30 NEWS ANALYSIS : Results of 2 Key Races Signal New Political Era in Mexico https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-05-30-mn-7624-story.html 2024-06-14 Los Angeles Times en-US Fox's victory made him the fourth PAN member elected governor of a Mexican state.
