Overview

• Deputies are set to vote at 5 p.m. Sunday to elect the new Mesa Directiva of the Chamber of Deputies.
• By law, the second year’s presidency goes to the second-largest force, which is PAN with 71 seats.
• Morena leader Ricardo Monreal says the majority will honor PAN’s turn, yet no PAN nominee has cleared Morena’s internal vetting.
• Morena figures have rejected profiles including Kenia López Rabadán, Margarita Zavala, Federico Döring, Germán Martínez and María Elena Pérez Jaén, with Dolores Padierna citing concerns over institutional optics with President Claudia Sheinbaum.
• If no agreement is reached, incumbent Sergio Gutiérrez Luna stays up to five days and actions after that window could face constitutional challenges, as Morena also wrestles over internal posts such as the chamber’s vice presidency.
