Enrique Peña Nieto is the official presidential candidate of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional or PRI to the 2012 Mexican Presidential Elections. He was governor of the State of Mexico and now has decided at aged 45 to become a presidential candidate. Even though he has political connections, he is a lawyer with a master's in business.
He has been involved with the PRI since 1984. Initially, he worked as an instructor in PRI's Electoral Training Center and later on became Coordinator for the party's Parliamentary Group in the LV Legislature. Add to his resume, Chairman of the Political Coordination of the same Legislature.
If you count the decade of the 90's to the year 2002, Nieto was working for the state government of Mexico for at least 10, maybe 12, years. During his stint in the state government of Mexico, he acted as, Government Administration Secretary, President of the Directive Council for the Social Security Institute, President of the Internal Council of Health Institute and Vice President of the Government Board for Integral Family Development System In addition, he was a member of the National Institute of Public Administration and the Administrative Council for Decentralized Public Agencies.
Enrique Pena Nieto has shown his versatility by also working as a political advisor to PRI National. His long term dedication to the party has paid off with his elevation to position of presidential candidate. His move from state government to presidential candidate has been seamless.
In 2004, he played a role in nominating candidates for governor of the state of Mexico. He beat other candidates in the nomination process, namely Guillermo González Martínez, Gustavo Cárdenas Monroy, Jaime Vázquez Castillo, Eduardo Bernal Martínez, Fernando Alberto García Cuevas, Cuauhtémoc García Ortega, Isidro Pastor Medrano, Enrique Jacob Rocha, Héctor Luna de la Vega and Carlos Hank Rhon. He represented the PRI as the gubernatorial candidate in February of 2005.
Victory day was July 3, 2005. He won 49 percent of the vote. He was sworn in as governor on September 15, 2005.
The elected governor's political agenda include advocacies on environment, energy reform and sustainable development and the acceleration of educational reform in support of youth empowerment and employment generation. A true politician, he proved himself extremely capable of handling conflict within the party. The state's economy, housing and agriculture business all benefited from his time in office.
His run for the presidency began when he finished his term as governor. Coincidentally, Senator Manlio Fabio Beltrones who is the only other candidate for the party's 2012 electoral ticket withdrew from the race. Beltrone quits Nieto fits.
Although there has been a lot of talk of illegitimacy, Pena Nieto is considered to be the next president of Mexico. It is no surprise that Pena Nieto has cleverly held his own political polls to discredit his opponents, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the leftist PRD party and Josefina Vazquez Mota of the ruling party PAN. The 80 million people in Mexico get to decide on who will govern them, on July 1, 2012.
The PRI hopes to regain the Presidency through this popular former governor of Mexico state. Enrique Peña Nieto claims to represent a new generation of politicians, unlike past dictatorial governments in his country. Pena Nieto looks forward to a Mexico free from marauding and fleeing citizens.
