If it seems early, it is. Incoming Mexican presidents tend to announce their cabinet choices close to their inaugurations. But President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum, who doesn’t take office until October 1, announced six members of her team on June 20. She shared another five names on June 27. This comes after she revealed on June 3, a day after her electoral win, that Finance Secretary Rogelio Ramírez de la O would continue in his post after she takes office.
Thus far, Sheinbaum has announced six women and seven men for her team. It is anticipated that the country’s first woman president will have a gender-balanced cabinet. Mexico already has gender parity laws in place for political roles. Sheinbaum advisor Altagracia Gómez has said the next president will take steps to extend legal requirements for parity to the presidential cabinet.
