Former Mexico international Cuauhtemoc Blanco has declared victory in his run for governor of the Mexican state of Morelos.
With a large lead in the polls, the 45-year-old posted a video on his Twitter account on Sunday night claiming victory.
According to the polling firm Mitofsky, Blanco will win the election with between 45% and 54% of the vote, while his closest challenger will have between just 12% and 18%.
Blanco retired from soccer in 2015 at the age of 42, and began a career in politics that eventually saw him elected mayor of Cuernavaca, the capital city of Morelos.
