Overview
- Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies Constitutional Points Committee is set to discuss the Morena-backed proposal today.
- The initiative would allow a single request for a presidential mandate revocation within the six months before the end of year three and hold the consultation on the 2027 midterm election day.
- Morena frames the change as a cost-saving move that boosts participation and formalizes citizen accountability.
- Opposition leaders from PRI and PAN argue the timing would put President Claudia Sheinbaum effectively on the ballot and give Morena candidates an unfair boost.
- The National Electoral Institute would run a combined electoral day, with officials emphasizing the need for certainty and public trust if the change advances.
