Vicente Fox Quesada (born July 2, 1942) was President of Mexico from 2000 to 2006. He was elected in the 2000 presidential election, a historically significant election that made him the first president elected from an opposition party since Francisco Madero in 1911. He was elected with 42 percent of the vote, marking the first time that the then-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party had lost an election. When Fox took office, it marked the first time in Mexico’s history that an incumbent president had peacefully surrendered power to an elected opposition victor.
