Overview
- The SCJN pleno ruled that the alleged contradiction of criteria in case 231/2024 did not exist and ordered the file archived as concluded.
- The Court’s earlier case 6/98 addressed a model linking proportional seats to majority certificates rather than votes, while TEPJF rulings 943/2018 and 385/2023 dealt with verifying overrepresentation limits in coalitions.
- Minister Giovanni Figueroa Mejía wrote that PAN took prior language out of context and that the Court has not ruled on assigning proportional representation by coalition.
- The ruling leaves the 2024 plurinominal seat distribution unchanged, preserving the majority held by Morena and its allies in the Chamber of Deputies.
- PAN filed the petition on August 22, 2024 under then-leader Marko Cortés, and the matter was reassigned to Figueroa after the originally assigned minister retired.
