Mexico City. Faced with projections from the National Electoral Institute (INE) that predict five senators for Movimiento Ciudadano (MC), members of the leadership of this party headed by Dante Delgado disagreed before electoral advisers, because they considered that the assignment of the first minority and plurinominal seats in the Senate is not being done correctly.
Delgado Rannauro, leader of the orange party, said on social media that the electoral body intends to ignore the vote of 10.87 percent of citizens who opted for the emecismo and leave it at 3.91 percent.
According to MC’s calculations, with the votes it received, it will be entitled to 14 senatorial seats, not the five that the electoral institute has outlined.
He recalled that they obtained 6.5 million votes, but with the allocation that is intended to be granted to them in the upper house, “an injustice is committed that contradicts the law, devalues the citizen vote and puts the democratic balance at risk.”
The former governor of Veracruz argued that the Constitution, in its article 56, establishes that the allocation of the 32 senatorial seats by the first minority must be based on the political party that, “by itself”, has managed to obtain second place in the number of votes in the entity in question, and not by coalition as the INE claims.
He also explained that Article 21 of the General Law on Electoral Institutions and Procedures (LEGIPE) states that the 32 Proportional Representation Senate seats must be distributed under the principle of pure proportionality.
MC did not win the election for senators in any state and, as a minority, the INE predicts that it will be entitled to two for Campeche and Nuevo León. It would be entitled to three plurinominal seats, for a total of five, according to the electoral body’s forecasts.
