In Mexico, at least nine people, including a child, were killed after a strong gust of wind toppled the stage at a campaign rally in the northern Nuevo León state last night. More than 60 were injured during the incident. The incident occurred when the centre-left presidential candidate Jorge Alvarez Maynez was delivering a speech in the city of San Pedro Garza Garcia. Later, visiting the site of the incident, Mr. Alvarez said that he is suspending campaign activities.

General elections in Mexico are scheduled to be held on 2 June 2024.
