Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard said he plans to make his own presidential bid amid early succession speculation as President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador starts the final part of his six-year mandate.
Ebrard, one of Lopez Obrador’s main advisers and Mexico’s key diplomatic liaison with the U.S. government, said that while it was early to speculate on the 2024 general election, he would be ready to run for the country’s top job.
