Mexico City. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo announced that once the 2026-2027 electoral process concludes, she will insist on the electoral reform—whose plans A and B were rejected last year for failing to reach a qualified majority, and only part of the second one passed.

I made an electoral reform proposal that was not approved, and a Plan B that was partly approved and partly not. As soon as the elections are over, I will propose it again.

She reiterated that she considers it fundamental that political parties not have so much public funding, that the figure that exists today for proportional representation legislators be reformed, that there be greater citizen participation, that fewer public resources be allocated to holding elections, and that transparency in elections be guaranteed.

She questioned that, faced with the two electoral reform proposals she sent last year, there were parties, including Morena’s allies, “that did not want to call their proportional representation seats into question,” which is why they rejected the changes.
