Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum alleges that her opponents are trying to discredit the 2027 election.
What happened
Sheinbaum stated that the opposition wants to discredit the 2027 election because it has little credibility and low poll numbers. The INE president, Guadalupe Taddei, resigned on October 25 after reports of alleged conflicts of interest with suppliers. Sheinbaum linked the alleged business dealings to a figure, but did not name them. She called for an investigation.
Why it matters
The dispute over the credibility of the referee raises political risk ahead of a vote that decides control of the lower house. This could affect investors and companies with Mexican operations.
Key facts
- INE is the independent agency that runs Mexico's federal elections and counts the votes. The Chamber of Deputies will choose Taddei's successor. The 2027 election will decide all 500 seats of the Chamber of Deputies.
