Last Friday, March 3, the Technical Evaluation Committee (CTE) of the applicants to integrate the General Council of the INE issued the final list of applicants who meet the constitutional and legal requirements to occupy the positions of the presidency and three councils of the agency, for the period from April 4, 2023 to April 3, 2032.
However, the counselor was left out of that possibility, since the members of the CTE determined that she, like the former INE counselor Javier Santiago Castillo “have a constitutional impediment to participate in the election process (…) because they are occupying or having previously held a position as an electoral adviser at the INE, so their registration as applicants is not appropriate”.
That agreement of the Committee was questioned by counselor Humphrey and her challenge, presented on Friday night, must be resolved before this March 7 the process enters a second phase of the call, consisting of the examination that will be applied to the 531 applicants who advanced in the process.
Humphrey is currently a councilor of the INE, for the period 2020-2029, and like Santiago Castillo, both were councilors of the Electoral Institute of the Federal District (IEDF).
The posts to be elected by the plenary session of the deputies –or eventually via insaculation in the Court, in the event that there is no agreement, election or raffle in the Chamber of Deputies– are three councils of the Institute and a presidency of the General Council, the four for the period 2023-2032.
