TEPJF orders Mauricio Vila to leave the governorship of Yucatán office to maintain Senate candidacy.
The electoral authority considered that he was using public resources to promote his political campaign.
The governor of Yucatan, Mauricio Vila, must leave his position to maintain his candidacy for the Senate.
In a session held on May 21, 2023, the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary (TEPJF) ruled that Vila had violated the electoral law by using public resources to promote his political campaign.
The complaint against Vila was filed by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which accused him of using state government resources to promote his candidacy for the Senate.
The TEPJF agreed with the INE and found that Vila had used government resources to produce promotional materials, such as billboards and television ads.
The TEPJF also found that Vila had used state employees to campaign for him and that he had used government vehicles to transport campaign materials.
The TEPJF ordered Vila to leave his position as governor within 48 hours and to stop using government resources to promote his campaign.
Vila has said that he will comply with the TEPJF’s order and that he will continue to campaign for the Senate.
The TEPJF’s decision is a significant setback for Vila, who is considered to be one of the most popular governors in Mexico.
It is also a significant victory for the INE, which has been criticized by some for being too lenient with politicians who violate the electoral law.
