De la victoria de un candidato independiente a los desafíos en la eficacia del desempeño gubernamental: el caso del estado de Nuevo León, México.

The victory of an independent candidate who won the subnational election and excluded the traditional system of political parties is analyzed herein. As an unprecedented case in Mexico, it is analyzed considering the conditions of the political system characterized by a hegemonic political party dominating everything, where their capability to minimize the political representation has been a constant trait. Notwithstanding, the political liberalization process gradually managed to allow the political pluralism through the elections. The national election reform in 2014 provided the possibility to have independent candidates and the State of Nuevo León implemented it. fierefore, the analysis of the first independent government in Nuevo León examines the variable precedent to the wining electoral route. Thanks to a campaign basically through a social networking platform instead of a conventional election campaign, the candidate achieved an unprecedented victory both in the local and national history. Next, focused only on two variables measuring the governmental political efficacy, some empirical evidence is shown in order to analyze the results regarding the public security and corruption issues. Finally, this work addresses the context of the outgoing governor and provides the conclusions from the first governmental balance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
