Mexico's ruling party again picks woman to run for mayor of capital

Mexico's ruling party, the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA), has chosen Clara Brugada as its candidate for Mexico City mayor. Brugada, a two-time congresswoman and former mayor of Iztapalapa, will run for the position in the June election. If successful, she will become the second woman in a row to be elected as mayor of the Mexican capital. New gender parity rules on political representation secured Brugada's nomination, despite losing in polling commissioned by the party.
