The selection process for key positions in electoral bodies continues in Mexico City. The current president of the Electoral Tribunal of CDMX, Armando Ambriz Hernández, is also participating in this process. Candidates close to the Morena government are advancing in the selection, while opposition figures such as Dania Ravel, Claudia Zavala, and Jaime Rivera have been eliminated. Among the selected individuals are Bernardo Valle, Patricia Avendaño, and Ernesto Ramos, all from the Electoral Institute of Mexico City (IECM) and showing sympathy for the ruling party. In contrast, the opposition expressed outrage on social media after magistrate María del Carmen Alanís Figueroa, from their ranks, failed to pass the filter. At the National Electoral Institute (INE), the selection process for candidates close to President Claudia Sheinbaum and the Secretariat of the Interior is also underway. Notable candidates include former advisors Valle Monroy and Gabriela Williams Salazar. Controversy has grown over a possible leaked exam, and questions are being raised about the relationship between IECM President Patricia Avendaño and Sheinbaum. Other selected candidates include Erika Estrada and Sonia Pérez.
