**Sergio Gutiérrez Luna to Once Again Serve as President of the Chamber of Deputies**
Sergio Carlos Gutiérrez Luna will assume the presidency of the Mesa Directiva in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies following the unfortunate passing of Ifigenia Martha Martínez and Hernández. On October 7, 2024, the Mexican parliamentary group Morena endorsed an agreement proposing Gutiérrez Luna as the new leader. This proposal is expected to be voted on by the full Chamber of Deputies on October 8, requiring a qualified majority, which Morena and its allies, the Green Ecological Party (PVEM) and the Labor Party (PT), are likely to secure.
Since September 1, 2024, Gutiérrez Luna has been acting as the interim president of the Mesa Directiva after Martínez and Hernández’s brief tenure. Martínez and Hernández led the session for the establishment of the LXVI Legislature and the ceremony of executive power transfer on October 1 of the same year before her passing on October 5, 2024, at 94 years of age.
Gutiérrez Luna, originally from Minatitlán, Veracruz, brings a wealth of experience and education to his role. As a law graduate from the Escuela Libre de Derecho, his career includes working with the SAT, advising in both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, and serving in various legal capacities. His political journey has taken him from the PRD to a significant role within Morena, particularly as a representative to electoral institutions.
