It's very easy to comprehend. All the other candidates were killed by the cartel. Seriously, when you have 31 candidates all murdered, I think public ideology is no longer as high on the list for why someone might have won an election.
I think you're misinformed. There hasn't been a Mexican presidential candidate killed since the early 90's. There have been anti-cartel politicians running for local elections killed, but almost entirely in Sinaloa and Acapulco.
That's kinda like saying Joe Biden is illegitimate because someone running for city council in Chicago on an anti-gang platform was killed.
