Gender Parity Guaranteed in Puebla State Government Candidacies

The Puebla State Congress has passed a constitutional amendment guaranteeing gender parity in the upcoming gubernatorial election. This means that political parties, electoral coalitions, and common candidacies must alternate genders when nominating candidates for each election. This move ensures equal representation of men and women in the race for the state’s highest office. The amendment is part of a broader effort to promote gender equality in the state, aligning with national efforts to increase women’s participation in politics.
