Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will send a proposal to Congress to reform an upcoming judicial election. This follows harsh criticism of the erratic rulings from inexperienced judges elected in the previous vote last year. The move addresses growing concerns about legal unpredictability under the current system.

The previous election produced judges lacking sufficient experience, leading to inconsistent court decisions. Business groups and investors have flagged this legal uncertainty as a risk to economic stability and foreign investment. The proposed reforms seek to establish clearer criteria for candidate selection.

By tightening judicial selection, the administration intends to restore credibility to the courts. A more qualified judiciary could improve Mexico's investment climate and reduce legal risks for companies operating in the country. The proposal signals a direct response to sustained pressure from the business sector.
