Finally the opposition in Guerrero chose a candidate for Governor.
It is difficult to explain how he got there. You find here a summary.
He is from the south of the State. In the Spanish version of Wikipedia we have this. I guess the English version is forthcoming, since he is running in Mexico, nobody has seen the need to translate this so far.
He already was an Interim Governor. He resigned from his party the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI in Spanish), and joined the opposition. There are several parties that propose him. PRI governed the State until the present governor, Zeferino Torreblanca Galindo, who belongs to the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD).
A politician from the north of the State, Rubén Figueroa Alcocer, opposes him from PRI. Their candidate is the current Mayor of Acapulco, Manuel Añorve Baños.
I guess if all you want from Guerrero is the beaches, you couldn't care less who is governor; of course that is essentially true, but if you are a political junkie, or you happen to care who is in charge of your paradisaical resort, let my just conclude this for you.
Aguirre has the chance of bringing this State ahead, we need new ideas and new parties; nevertheless the old PRI seems to have learned lessons, and I hope they will govern better this time.
Democracy is well and growing in the State of Guerrero.
