Overview
- The Business Coordinating Council confirmed the candidacy window closed on November 11 with only José Medina Mora registered, naming him the proposed unity candidate.
- A digital vote by the Mexican Business Council’s 56 members narrowly favored Medina Mora by two votes, and rival Juan Cortina subsequently withdrew, according to reports.
- The CCE’s National Council will be briefed on November 14, candidate presentations run through December 5, and the formal election is slated for the second week of December.
- CCE rules require support from at least five of its seven member organizations, so the CMN’s endorsement is influential but not determinative.
- Concanaco Servytur may withhold participation without a formal, inclusive outreach, while Medina Mora has said he would seek a dialogue-based relationship with President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government.
