Mexico's Supreme Court fell short in a vote on Tuesday to invalidate part of a controversial judicial reform passed by lawmakers in September that requires the election of all judges over the next few years.

President Claudia Sheinbaum says she won’t comply with any ruling made by the Supreme Court over a judicial system shake-up.

Eight of 11 justices on Mexico’s Supreme Court have resigned and declined to participate in an election for the court scheduled for June, the court said on Wednesday.

Mexico's Supreme Court began debating the constitutionality of a controversial judicial overhaul on Tuesday, nearly two months after lawmakers passed the reform that would require the election of all judges over the next few years.

Eight justices of Mexico’s Supreme Court have said they will leave the court rather than stand for election as required by a controversial judicial overhaul passed last month.

Mexico’s federal and state legislatures, all dominated by the ruling Morena party, have passed amendments to the Constitution that prohibit courts from challenging any Constitutional reforms.

Eight of Mexico's 11 Supreme Court judges have submitted their resignations following controversial judicial reforms, the top court said Wednesday.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized the country's Supreme Court on Monday for overstepping its authority as it weighs whether to deem part of a recently-enacted judicial reform unconstitutional.
