The Partido Revolucionario Institutional (PRI) has picked Enrique Pena Nieto as their candidate to run for president in Mexico's 2012 election. Prior to the announcement of his presidential candidacy, the 45-year old Mexican politician served as governor of the State of Mexico from 2005 to 2011. Enrique has prepared for politics with a law degree and an MBA.
He became familiar with the PRI when he became a member in 1984. When he started with the PRI, he was and instructor and later became Coordinator for the party's Parliamentary Group in the LV Legislation. Add to his resume, Chairman of the Political Coordination of the same Legislature.
He has worked in several administrative offices in the state government of Mexico from the early 90's until 2002. 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 During this period, he also secured membership to the National Institute of Public Administration and the Administrative Council for Decentralized Public Agencies.
Enrique Pena Nieto has been actively working within the PRI party in various capacities, even as political advisor to PRI National. Everything he has done within the PRI organization has led up to this moment in time as a presidential candidate. It is difficult to say if his goal from the beginning was to become a presidential candidate, but his tireless work for the state government of Mexico has made him a formidable opponent.
In 2004, he participated in his party's internal nominations for governorship of the state of Mexico. He came out ahead of other candidates such as, 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. It wasn't until February of 2005 that he became the nominee for the governorship as a candidate of the PRI.
Voting was on July 3, 2005. He won 49 percent of the vote. The baton of governorship was passed over to Nieto on September 15, 2005 at the Morelos Theater in Toluca in front of 5,000 people.
Advocacies on environment, energy reform and sustainable development and the acceleration of educational reform in support of youth empowerment and employment generation, all items on his list of things to get done. During his governorship, he was able to walk a fine line between the different factions 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.
As fishy as it may sound Pena Nieto is considered by many as the next president of Mexico. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the leftist PRD party and Josefina Vazquez Mota of the ruling party PAN are fair game, and Pena Nieto hasn't wasted any time to discredit them and now holds made up political polls where, quite naturally, he is the winner. The official election for Mexico's 80 million people will be held on July 1 of this year.
THE PRI is counting on their candidate to bring home the prize of president. Enrique Pena Nieto promises to be more democratic than previous dictators. Pena Nieto looks forward to a Mexico free from marauding and fleeing citizens.
