Enrique Priego Oropeza (born in Villahermosa, Tabasco) is a Mexican politician of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party and a former Acting Governor of Tabasco. [1]
His arrival to the Government of Tabasco happened after the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary annulled the previous election for Governor and reversed PRI majority of Manuel Andrade Díaz, who had won the elections of October 15, 2000.
The cancellation of the elections for Governor took the Government by surprise, which forced the Federal congress to hold an extraordinary session to name someone who had to take the reins from the state as Temporary Governor before the imminent exit of Roberto Madrazo as chief executive, who finished to his term on December 31, 2000.
Article 47 of the state constitution says the following:
Based on this article, on December 31, 2000, the PRI parliamentary group of the 56th Legislature (which stopped the same day) appointed the unlicensed Federal Deputy, Enrique Priego Oropeza, as acting governor. This action was described as legislative rashness by the PRD.
The PRD contested the nomination, arguing that on December 31 of 2000 there was no total lack of governor as Roberto Madrazo he was still in office and, in any case, that it should be the 57th Legislature, itself coming into office on January 1 of 2001 (same day as the proposed new governor), that appoint the Acting Governor.
Under this argument, legislators from the PRD, PAN, PT and two members of the PRI appointed by then Secretary General of the PRI, Adam Augusto López Hernández, as acting governor, thus creating an unprecedented post-election conflict in the state and the country had two governors in one office in a state.
After several negotiations and political wrangling, the conflicting parties came to an agreement and Enrique Priego Oropeza assumed the interim presidency and called for new elections to occur on the August 5 of 2001.
The politics of Mexico take place in a framework of a federal presidential representative democratic republic whose government is based on a congressional system, whereby the President of Mexico is both head of state and head of government, and of a multi-party system. The federal government represents the United Mexican States and is divided into three branches: executive, legislative and judicial, as established by the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, published in 1917. The constituent states of the federation must also have a republican form of government based on a congressional system as established by their respective constitutions.
The Institutional Revolutionary Party is a political party in Mexico that was founded in 1929 and held uninterrupted power in the country for 71 years, from 1929 to 2000, first as the National Revolutionary Party, then as the Party of the Mexican Revolution and finally as the PRI beginning in 1946.
The Party of the Democratic Revolution is a social democratic political party in Mexico. The PRD originated from the Democratic Current, a political faction formed in 1986 from the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). The PRD was formed after the contested general election in 1988, which the PRD's immediate predecessor, the National Democratic Front, believed was rigged by the PRI. This sparked a movement away from the PRI's authoritarian rule.

Bartlett was elected to the Senate of the Republic for the 2000–2006 term, where he became known as one of the most staunch defenders of state ownership of electric utilities. On May 27, 2006, in view of the low possibility of Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) candidate Roberto Madrazo winning the Presidency, Bartlett declared that he would vote for Andrés Manuel López Obrador, then candidate for the Party of the Democratic Revolution, to avoid a right-wing victory. Madrazo and the national leader of the PRI, Mariano Palacios, both condemned these declarations, and announced the possible expulsion of Bartlett from the party. Bartlett responded by continuing to speak out against both leaders.
