Mexican legislative leaves of absence

Overview

In late September 2026, several Mexican senators requested temporary leaves of absence to attend to political party obligations. These included Virginia Magaña Fonseca of the Green Ecological Party of Mexico (PVEM) regarding electoral processes in Guanajuato, and Cecilia Guadalupe Guadiana Mandujano of Morena. These absences occurred while the Senate was deliberating on reforms to the Federal Penal Code and constitutional proposals regarding nationality.

By late October 2026, legislative shifts continued as members either returned to office or were replaced. In Baja California, PVEM deputy Jorge Ramos Hernández rescinded a leave of absence originally taken to participate in Morena’s 2027 gubernatorial candidacy process. Meanwhile, in Mexico City, Joaquín Ruiz Olloqui was sworn in as a federal deputy for Chihuahua’s 4th District, succeeding Alejandro Pérez Cuéllar, who requested an indefinite leave of absence to pursue political goals for 2027.
