5th federal electoral district of Guerrero

Federal electoral districts of Guerrero since 2022

Guerrero under the 2017–2022 districting plan

The 5th federal electoral district of Guerrero (Distrito electoral federal 05 de Guerrero) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Guerrero. ^{[1] [a]}

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fourth region. ^{[3] [4]}

District territory

Guerrero lost a congressional seat in the National Electoral Institute's 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, ^[5] the 5th district covers 23 municipalities in the easternmost part of the state's Mountain region: ^[6]

• Acatepec, Ahuacuotzingo, Alcozauca, Alpoyeca, Atlamajalcingo del Monte, Atlixtac, Cochoapa el Grande, Copanatoyac, Cualac, Huamuxtitlán, Iliatenco, José Joaquín de Herrera, Malinaltepec, Olinalá, Tlacoapa, Tlalixtaquilla de Maldonado, Tlalixtaquilla, Tlapa, Xalpatláhuac, Xochihuehuetlán, Zapotitlán Tablas and a portion of Metlatónoc. ^[b]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Tlapa de Comonfort. ^[1]

With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 85% of its population, it is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district. ^{[6] [c]}

Notes

Municipality of Metlatónoc

1. Because of shifting population patterns, Guerrero currently has two fewer districts than the ten the state was assigned under the 1977 electoral reforms that set the national total at 300. ^[2]
2. The horseshoe-shaped municipality of Metlatónoc is split between the 5th and the 8th districts.
3. The INE deems any local or federal electoral district where Indigenous or Afrodescendent inhabitants number 40% or more of the total population to be an indigenous district. ^[1]
4. Castro Justo resigned his seat on 20 April 1999 to replace Guadalupe Gómez Maganda in the Senate. ^[21] .
5. Ramírez Hernández was elected for the PRI but switched allegiance to the PRD in February 2011. ^[27] He resigned his seat on 24 March 2011 ^[28] to take office as Secretary of Rural Development of Guerrero. When his substitute, Villanueva de la Luz, was found murdered in September 2011, ^[29] a number of PRI members accused Ramírez Hernández of involvement. ^[30] He returned to his seat in Congress in December 2011. ^[31]
