Deputies Launch Selection for ASF Chief With March 11 Vote Target

The committee set public deadlines with ANUIES invited as an academic observer to bolster transparency.

Overview

  • Applications for auditor of the ASF are open Feb. 19–28 at San Lázaro, with one report noting no registrations by early afternoon on the first day.
  • Files will be reviewed March 1–5, followed by public interviews March 6–10, with schedules and materials posted in the Gaceta Parlamentaria and a dedicated microsite.
  • The oversight committee plans to send a three-person shortlist to the full chamber on March 11, and the appointee would take office March 15 for an eight‑year term.
  • Appointment requires a two‑thirds vote of deputies present, and the call outlines eligibility such as Mexican birth, age 35+, clean record, a decade of relevant experience, and a qualifying professional degree, plus a declaration of interests.
  • The process seeks a successor to David Colmenares, and media have floated potential contenders while former INAI commissioner Julieta del Río publicly declined to register.
