Kenia López, president of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Deputies, has called for respect for electoral laws and timelines, urging against premature campaigning. She specifically pointed to the registration of state coordinator aspirants by Morena and its allies as violating electoral regulations. López emphasized that electoral authorities must impose sanctions on individuals who anticipate the upcoming electoral process.

"The law cannot have nuances, it cannot have interpretations; the law must be applied to everyone, and it does not matter what surname they have or what political party they belong to. If there are people who are engaging in premature campaign activities, they must be sanctioned," López stated. She argued that violating electoral law demonstrates a clear lack of respect for the electorate, which should be won through reason and emotion, not by breaking the law.
