Morena Party Poised to Control Mexico's Supreme Court | JQJO

Mexico's ruling Morena party appears poised to gain control of the Supreme Court following the country's first judicial elections. Preliminary results show a majority of newly elected justices have ties to Morena, raising concerns about a potential imbalance of power. Critics fear this will weaken checks and balances, allowing the ruling party to easily advance its agenda. While some elected justices lack explicit party affiliation, many were appointed by former President López Obrador or share the party's ideology. The elections, marked by low voter turnout and confusion, sparked controversy due to the judicial reforms implemented by Morena.
