Enrique Pena Nieto's Good Looks Don't Count Against Him

Enrique Pena Nieto is number one for the Partido Revolucionario Institutional (PRI) to the election for president of Mexico in 2012 Before he decided to run for president, he was the young governor of the State of Mexico from 2005 to 2011. While being related to several politicians, his political training and career commenced after completing a law degree from Universidad Panamericana and an MBA degree from Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey.

Peña Nieto has been a member of PRI since 1984. He first worked as an instructor in PRI's Electoral Training Center before becoming Coordinator for the party's Parliamentary Group in the LV Legislature. He was Chairman of the Political Coordination Board of the same legislature.

He is no stranger to politics having been involved with the state government of Mexico from the 90's until 2002. While there, he was 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.

Nieto worked as a political advisor to PRI. Everything he has done within the PRI organization has led up to this moment in time as a presidential candidate. His move from state government to presidential candidate has been seamless.

He knows the process well since he has already nominated candidates for the governorship of Mexico, in 2004. 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 was a clear winner with 49 percent of the vote. He was sworn in as governor on September 15, 2005.

More than anything he wanted to change things in the areas of The environment, energy reform and sustainable development and the acceleration of educational reform in support of youth empowerment and employment generation During his governorship, he was able to walk a fine line between the different factions 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. Oddly, Senator Manlio Fabio Beltrones, his only opponent decided not to run. 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 Mexican people will decide the real winner on July 1 of this year.

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. He expects to renew hope among Mexicans and urge them to build a better nation and a country of peace.
