Clara Brugada, the head of government in Mexico City, publicly committed to maintaining neutrality in upcoming elections and preventing the use of public funds for partisan purposes.
Brugada made this guarantee during a formal session where Armando Ambriz Hernández, president of the Mexico City Electoral Tribunal (TECDMX), presented his activity report for 2025-2026. The TECDMX resolved 1,445 cases during the period, and the federal justice system affirmed 98% of its rulings.
Ambriz highlighted that the tribunal handled unprecedented processes including the first election of local judicial power members, resolving 220 appeals with only one federal reversal. Beyond case resolution, the TECDMX’s public defender’s office assisted 1,220 people, including 553 from priority groups, and provided attention to individuals in pre-trial detention in seven correctional facilities. Conciliation schemes in labor matters generated institutional savings of 29.5 million pesos. Ambriz concluded his term by emphasizing the lasting importance of the institution over individual officeholders.
