The last of the uninterrupted 70-year line of Mexican presidents from the PRI, Zedillo is one of the so-called technocrats, the Mexican term for a politician who has never been elected by popular vote in his political career, advancing instead from bureacratic changes from administration to administration.
After Colosio's assassination, Zedillo was one of the few PRI members eligible under Mexican law to take his place, since he hadn't been in public office for some time.
After winning the election in 1994 (the cleanest process in years) he was thought by many as a puppet-president, but after the December Mistake, which occurred during his administration although it was blamed on Salinas, he governed with relatively ease, relying on the PRI tradition of loyalty to the current president.

To assist the late-starting presidential campaign that got underway when Zedillo was designated the candidate to replace the assassinated Luís Donaldo Colosio, the PRI solicited an estimated $50 million in contributions (from two bankers who had looted their newly-privatized banks, and the director of the holding company for the nation's two recently privatized state airlines).
