Possible restoration

The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) presented on 13 May 2022 a proposal for an electoral reform that would include the restoration of the post of vice president, among nine other proposals. In the proposal, it was proposed that the vice president would be a direct assistant of the president, and that the vice president could also assist the Senate with voice, but without vote. ^[4]

The PRI proposal was launched in opposition to proposals of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on electoral reforms, leading to the 2024 elections.
