Higinio Martínez poised to preside over Mexican Senate
Higinio Martínez Miranda is poised to become the President of the Mexican Senate starting September 1. The Morena party intends to formalize his designation through a vote during its plenary meeting this Sunday, with a final election by the full Senate expected on Monday.
Martínez, a former member of the PRD and founder of the Grupo Texcoco, has reportedly secured consensus among the majority of his colleagues. His candidacy follows a period of internal negotiation involving other figures such as Óscar Cantón and Manuel Huerta. The process was complicated by Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña, who requested to be included among the candidates for the vote.
Reports indicate that Martínez has received support from President Claudia Sheinbaum for the term spanning September 2026 to August 2027. This leadership role is seen as a significant political position as the country approaches upcoming electoral cycles.
