Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum used her Friday morning conference to demand a cleanup at the National Electoral Institute after a corruption scandal that already saw accounts of a former INE chief and suppliers frozen. She said accountability at the electoral referee is essential for public trust. Opposition voices warn that reform rhetoric must not become political capture of the umpire. Prosecutors continue related financial inquiries. The dispute keeps electoral governance at the centre of Mexico City politics ahead of future contests.
