In a recent decision, Mexico's electoral institute has awarded the governing Morena party and its allies approximately 73% of seats in the lower house of Congress, despite winning less than 60% of the votes in the June 2 elections. This ruling, subject to potential legal challenges, would provide the coalition with a two-thirds majority necessary for approving constitutional changes in Mexico.
If upheld, Morena and its allies would secure around 364 seats in the 500-seat Chamber of Deputies, granting them significant influence in Congress. Critics argue that this allocation of seats gives Morena more power than it earned through the electoral process.
