With judicial elections approaching, Mexico struggles to vet candidates with criminal ties

  • Mexico will hold its first judicial elections on June 1, including contests for nine Supreme Court justice positions.
  • This election comes after a contentious judicial reform enacted last year and amid allegations that some candidates have connections to criminal groups and to the religious organization La Luz del Mundo.
  • Civil society groups, led by Defensorxs president Miguel Alfonso Meza, filed complaints against 11 judicial candidates for ties to criminal activities and the sect led by a convicted sex offender.
  • INE President Guadalupe Taddei stated that the electoral authority cannot annul approved candidacies but can annul individual victories after the elections, with official results validated on June 15.
  • The complaints and the limited annulment powers of the INE suggest ongoing challenges in vetting candidates with potential criminal affiliations ahead of these landmark elections.
