Overview
- Citing Oct. 22–23 council sessions, PRI and Somos representatives formally asked that INE president Guadalupe Taddei temporarily step aside or resign while allegations about supplier links are investigated.
- Taddei denied favoritism, said she will provide contracting records to the INE's Órgano Interno de Control and asked the Auditoría Superior de la Federación for a new review of procurement processes.
- The INE launched a public microsite to display supplier contracts, amounts and payments as part of a transparency response to the reports.
- Journalistic investigations published photos showing Taddei with supplier-linked figures and reported that the Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera has inquiries into seven related companies, keeping the matter under active financial scrutiny.
- Formal administrative reviews are under way but no criminal charges or final findings have been announced, leaving the dispute as a reputational risk that could intensify political pressure and affect public trust in the INE ahead of 2027.
