The ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party claimed a wide lead Monday for its candidate for governor of Tlaxcala state east of Mexico City, Beatriz Paredes Rangel.

Paredes, who has become prominent in the farm-labor sector of the party, would be the second woman governor in Mexican history if declared the winner in Sunday’s election.

The claim is based on partial returns. Official returns will not be available from the State Electoral Commission until next week.
