Enrique Pena Nieto Climbs The Political Ladder

The Partido Revolucionario Institutional (PRI) has picked Enrique Pena Nieto as their candidate to run for president in Mexico's 2012 election. At 45, he is a young presidential candidate, but has experience of an older politician. Although politics is in his blood, so to speak, he has nevertheless studied, and on his own, acquired degrees in both law and business.

He has been connected to the PRI since 1984. First an instructor, then a coordinator, Enrique Pena Nieto worked his way up through the party's ranks. He also functioned as Chairman of the Political Coordination Board of the same legislature.

He has worked in several administrative offices in the state government of Mexico from the early 90's until 2002. 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, are all positions he held during his time with the state government of Mexico. He joined the 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. Becoming a presidential candidate has been culmination of all his years working for the state government of Mexico. 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. Because of his experience, he was able to win against such candidates 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. In February 2005, he was sworn in as the official gubernatorial candidate of PRI.

Votes were counted on July 3, 2005. Enrique Peña Nieto garnered 49 percent of the total votes in the state. On September 15, 2005, he was sworn in as constitutional Governor of the state of Mexico at the Morelos Theater in Toluca before a crowd of 5,000 people.

The environment, energy reform and sustainable development and the acceleration of educational reform in support of youth empowerment and employment generation were his priorities when he became governor. A true politician, he proved himself extremely capable of handling conflict within the party. He didn't forget to help his people who thrived when he was governor

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. With Beltrone out of the way, Nieto had no one to stop him from obtaining the nomination.

Despite the mafia like rise to power, Pena Nieto is expected to be the next president of Mexico. He is waging political war with his own presidential polls against 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 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.
