A mayoral candidate in the central Mexican state of Morelos was murdered on Tuesday, while another one was injured in an attack in western Jalisco state, the governments of both states
said.

The attacks took place less than a week before Mexicans head to the polls to elect a new president and 20,000 other public officials, in a campaign marked by the murder of thirty candidates, according to the NGO Data Civica.
