(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas (born May 1, 1934) is a prominent Mexican politician.

Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano was born in Mexico City, the son of President Lázaro Cárdenas.

Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas served as governor of the state of Michoacán from 1980 to 1986, representing the ruling PRI. After many disagreements with his party he decided to leave; he then received the support from several small left wing parties and was the presidential candidate of a loose alliance of these organizations in 1988.

Although he ultimately lost, many people believe that he was the actual winner: the ruling PRI party was accused of rigging the election to favor their candidate Carlos Salinas de Gortari, famously claiming that there had been a massive systems crash with the computer system used to track the results and in line with their well known dubious electoral tactics.

Later on in 1997 he was the PRD's candidate for the mayoral election which he won becoming the first ever elected mayor of Mexico City (in formal terms, Head of Government of the Federal District.

He ran for the presidency again in 1994 and 2000, but failed to attract the national support he commanded during the 1980s.
