National Action Party (PAN) candidate Vicente Fox Quesada and Mexican voters have finally achieved what was once deemed impossible, resoundingly defeating the long-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in the 2 July 2000 national elections. Most observers could not believe that the opposition had actually won until President Ernesto Zedillo officially conceded the election to Fox. Certainly, no one could have predicted a Fox victory without having paid careful attention to the gradual but important advances of the PAN at the state and local level over the last 20 years, to the rise of Vicente Fox within the PAN, and to the increasing political maturity of the Mexican electorate
