Mexico's Senate approved the Plan B electoral reform with 87 votes in favor and 41 against, removing proposed changes to presidential recall via a Partido del Trabajo (PT) reserve. The measure aims to cut costs and privileges at the National Electoral Institute (INE) and other bodies. President Claudia Sheinbaum hailed the privilege cuts but regretted the recall omission.
President Claudia Sheinbaum has instructed incoming Legal Counsel Luisa María Alcalde to assess postponing the 2027 judicial election to 2028, in light of a bill introduced by Morena lawmakers last week. The proposal seeks to separate it from midterms for impartiality and reform candidate selection. An INE counselor warned that combining elections would not save costs.
