Mexico's ruling Morena party, led by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is on the brink of securing a significant two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress. This development comes after two opposition senators defected to Morena, bringing them closer to achieving the desired majority.
The defections from the now-defunct Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) have bolstered Morena's position, with the party now just one vote away from a similar majority in the Senate. This majority would enable Morena to push through contentious changes to the Constitution, including a proposal to mandate the election of all judges.
