The Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (TEPJF) is holding its first hearing on Saturday regarding the challenges to Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo’s victory.
The first hearing is regarding the lawsuit for the protection of citizens’ rights initiated by Xóchitl Gálvez, who came in second place in the race.
These arguments are taking place in the facilities of the Superior Court, and the former presidential candidate of Fuerza y Corazón por México has not yet arrived, the electoral court confirmed to this newspaper.

The hearing is therefore headed by judges from the Electoral Tribunal and the former presidential candidate’s team.
Gálvez accuses President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of serious, systematic and repeated violations of the neutrality of the presidential election, as well as the alleged intervention of organized crime in the last elections.
Her complaint is part of the so-called mother trial of the presidential election, which includes two other challenges from the PAN, PRD and PRI in which they are asking for the annulment of Sheinbaum’s victory.
The Electoral Court has a deadline of September 6 to assess the validity of the presidential election and, if applicable, deliver the certificate of president-elect to Claudia Sheinbaum.
Former candidate Xóchitl Gálvez complained that the TEPJF magistrates broke their own agreement for the qualification of the presidential election regarding the fact that the hearings would be public and a microsite would be created to explain everything related to that topic.

On her X account, the senator pointed out that “the TEPJF violates its own agreements to qualify the presidential election. I explain: the Court had determined to enable a microsite to upload all the information related to the challenges and once enabled, 20 days later, the evidence would be presented. However, I was summoned from one day to the next without the agreement being fulfilled. Let it be clear: I will not validate illegalities of a body obliged to act with maximum responsibility.”
