Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard is confident in getting the nomination to fight for the country’s presidency next year, even as he faces a fierce battle within the ruling party to succeed Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

Ebrard is “sure” he will run for president in 2024, he told Bloomberg News in an interview on Thursday, adding that Mexico’s government party Morena should have a “transparent” process to decide on the candidacy.
