Mexico's National Electoral Institute (INE) has yet to release final figures, but partial results have indicated that AMLO and his coalition allies, as well as other progressives, will feature prominently across several states in the sweeping change which follows the polls in the Latin American country. 

HOUSES

Senate
In the Senate, there are 128 seats to be contested.

The Together We Will Make History (AMLO) coalition is projected to gain between 56 to 70 seats. The coalition For Mexico at the Front (Ricardo Anaya) is on track for 31 to 40 seats. While the Everyone for Mexico coalition (José Antonio Meade) may snag 11 to 21 seats.

Congress
There are a total of 300 National Congress seats up for grabs.

The Together We Will Make History (AMLO) coalition could snatch up as many as 224 seats. While the coalition For Mexico at the Front (Ricardo Anaya) is projected to settle for about 67 seats and the Everyone for Mexico coalition (José Antonio Meade) 9 seats.

STATES

These following results are unofficial but based on 30% of polls counted and paired with exit poll results, a statistical survey based on polling done as voters exit voting booths. 

Tabasco
The candidate for the Together We Will Make History coalition, Adán Augusto López, is emerging as the possible winner of the governorship of the state of Tabasco with 62.7% of electoral preference.

Puebla
In Puebla, a technical tie was reported between the candidate for the PAN coalition, Martha Erika Alonso (37.5%) and the candidate for the Morena coalition, Miguel Barbosa (35.9%) due to presenting an advantage of less than 10%.

Jalisco
In major state Jalisco, the exit poll results were inconclusive. However, unconfirmed results place the candidate for Citizen Movement, Enrique Alfaro Ramirez, in front with 40% of votes ahead of Together We Will Make History's Carlos Moleli Bolaños with 24.8% of votes.

Mexico City
