On Thursday, Sound of Freedom producer Eduardo Verástegui announced that he had registered as an independent candidate in Mexico's presidential race.

"After a period of discernment, I made the most important decision of my life: I have just registered with the INE [National Electoral Institute] my intention as an aspiring independent candidate for the presidency of the Mexican Republic for the elections on June 2, 2024," Verástegui wrote on Instagram. "My fight is for life. My fight is for freedom. It is time to remove the same old people from power. Our country needs a new way of doing politics, to eradicate corruption and impunity."
