Overview
- Guadalupe Taddei submitted a written resignation to the Chamber of Deputies after media reports linked her to a contractor, and the chamber has referred the matter to its political coordination board to start the constitutional replacement process.
- The Junta de Coordinación Política will install a five-person technical committee to vet applicants, produce a shortlist of five candidates, and send that quintet to deputies for a two‑thirds vote to pick the new INE president.
- The INE Council will name a provisional president from among existing electoral counselors so the institute continues operating while lawmakers complete the selection and remove officials tied to the disputed vendor if necessary.
- The Auditoría Superior de la Federación has opened an audit into INE contracts connected to the contractor Cajas Graf and press reports say several INE executives were removed as investigations proceed, raising questions about conflicts of interest.
- If the Chamber cannot reach a two‑thirds majority, the process allows for insaculation (a lottery from vetted candidates) and ultimately Supreme Court involvement, a sequence that matters because the transition occurs months before Mexico's large 2027 electoral cycle.
