In states where there are omissions, we return to the same panorama. The National Electoral Institute (INE) must carry out a review to establish the requirement to achieve parity in gubernatorial elections, and if there is already a regulation, it will take into account what the regulation says. The former INE official also stated that in the case of mayoralties, parity should also be promoted; however, this will be a decision of the Local Electoral Institutes (OPLE). She did not rule out INE interference to promote parity in Nuevo León. Despite the fact that electoral reform is one of the reasons complicating the 2026 Budget, the Nuevo León State Electoral Institute continues to promote this modification, mainly the issue of parity. With the participation of former INE councilor Beatriz Zavala Pérez, the institute began a week of dialogues on the topic, in which some actors affiliated with MC will participate. «In municipal presidencies, it is up to the OPLEs, and it is important to review the history. You here in Nuevo León and in other states, Councilors have been in charge of analyzing how things are in City Halls, to have tools and documented elements of what affirmative actions must be applied to advance or achieve parity and what demands will have to be established,» Zavala Pérez emphasized. Over the next few days, the IEEPC will hold more dialogue tables, work sessions, and conversations with local and national political profiles, mainly promoting gender alternation for the upcoming elections. The event was attended by the president of the IEEPC, Beatriz Camacho; the delegate from the Segob, Héctor Gutiérrez, as well as the head of the Executive Office of the Nuevo León government, Mariela Saldivar. «Parity is not just a legal provision: it is the result of decades of struggle by women and also men to open spaces and tear down barriers that have historically limited women's participation in public life,» said the former councilor. The title of Zavala Pérez's presentation was very clear: 'Parity Governorships, a National Reality'. These dialogues and work tables respond to a resolution from the State Electoral Tribunal, which was pushed by the same electoral body. LPO anticipated that Morena and the PRI-PAN front classify this as MC's last attempt to put the issue on the local agenda. Beatriz Zavala highlighted cases such as Querétaro, State of Mexico, Hidalgo, Puebla, and Yucatán, where parity in governorships has been legislated through gender alternation. The dispute over mayoralties in Nuevo León also continues, mainly in strongholds like San Nicolás or Apodaca.
