The National Electoral Institute (INE) of Mexico is facing an official investigation by the Auditoría Superior de la Federación (ASF) regarding the alleged misuse of public resources. The probe focuses on approximately 514 million pesos in contracts linked to businessman José Alfredo Hernández Casillas, who reportedly has ties to INE President Guadalupe Taddei. Specific allegations include the use of ‘factureras’ (shell companies), collusion, and the triangulation of funds involving entities such as TOL Producciones, Cajas Graf, and Corporativo ZEG. On October 25, 2026, Taddei announced she would formally present her resignation to the Chamber of Deputies on October 26. On October 27, she officially submitted her resignation, stating her decision was driven by the conviction that the institute and its ‘constitutional responsibilities must prevail over personal interests.’ She noted she was retiring with the satisfaction of having dedicated over three decades to Mexican democracy. Her departure follows intense scrutiny of potential conflicts of interest, including reports of her son, Jorge Francisco Piñeda Taddei, appearing in videos with Hernández Casillas in Paris. While Taddei initially characterized the accusations as ‘political noise’ and ‘golpeteo político,’ President Claudia Sheinbaum has asserted there should be ‘no shadow of corruption’ in the INE. ~~In response to the leadership crisis,~~ Following the resignation, INE ~~has implemented changes in key executive and administrative areas.
