Overview
- The Presidential Commission for Electoral Reform delivered its proposal to President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday, formalizing the push for changes to election rules.
- PT chamber coordinator Reginaldo Sandoval said the reform is not needed now and emphasized that Morena’s 253 deputies cannot meet the 335-vote threshold without PT and PVEM.
- Sandoval underscored that any constitutional move depends on decisions by the PT and the Green Party, asserting their leverage over the governing coalition’s agenda.
- Opposition figures Ricardo Anaya (PAN) and Manuel Añorve (PRI) labeled the initiative the “Ley Maduro,” alleging it seeks total control of elections and weakens democratic checks.
- Reporting describes parallel negotiations with PVEM and PT over candidacies and local arrangements—including a San Luis Potosí law withdrawal tied to a potential bid by Senator Ruth González Silva—as parties weigh whether to back the reform, which is also reported to cut public party funding and reshape electoral bodies.
