Mexico’s Top Election Official Resigns Amid Corruption Scandal Guadalupe Taddei Zavala, the head of the electoral watchdog, stepped down after facing accusations of corruption and influence peddling.

AMLO/Morena appointee Guadalupe Taddei Zavala, top #vote official in #Mexico, resigned from presidency of INE, the country's elections agency. Accusations of her corruption, conflicts of interest, influence peddling focus on procurement of election supplies via bizman José Alfredo Hernández Casillas

What the NYT story doesn't tell readers is that the change in how leaders at the INE are selected occurred because Morena has pretended to "democratize" the bureaucracy, basically hiring unqualified and easily coerceable people. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w...
