### Martí Batres to Join Sheinbaum’s Cabinet, Announces Mexico’s Virtual President-Elect
Martí Batres Guadarrama, head of the Government of Mexico City, has been confirmed by Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the virtual president-elect of Mexico, to be part of her upcoming administration. This announcement was made by Sheinbaum as she exited her transitional home in the Iztapalapa district.
In conversations with media representatives, Sheinbaum indicated that Batres would indeed work alongside her but did not specify the position he would hold in her administration. “Martí will definitely be working with me, and I’ll share more details soon,” Sheinbaum mentioned from her vehicle after meeting with Batres at her transitional residence.
Sheinbaum also hinted at the frequency of her announcements regarding her cabinet decisions as the inauguration date approaches on October 1, 2024. “There won’t be many Thursdays left before I’m sworn in, so I might present new members daily or all together,” she added.
