Governor of Oaxaca

The Governor of Oaxaca (officially in Spanish "Gobernador Constitucional del Estado Libre y Soberano de Oaxaca", in English "Constitutional Governor of the Free and Sovereign State of Oaxaca"), as of 2006 Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, heads the executive branch of the Mexican state of Oaxaca. The office is created by the state constitution, which specifies a term of 6 years and prohibits reelection. The governor takes office on December 1, and the term ends on November 30 six years later.

All the governors after 1929 have been members of Institutional Revolutionary Party (which was founded in that year).
