Competing in the home state of Morena's presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador, polling through the race showed him with a wide advantage. The candidacy also attracted some concern from members of Morena, who accused him of falsifying documents in real estate transactions as a notary, which allegedly benefitted his family. Exit polling on election night gave López Hernández between 61.7 and 69.7 percent of the vote, with a lead of some 40 percentage points over Gerardo Gaudiano, the PRD candidate.
