PoliticsMexico bars dual nationals from presidential and gubernatorial races

President Claudia Sheinbaum signed a constitutional reform barring dual nationals from running for president, state governor or head of government of Mexico City. The rules take effect upon publication but apply from the 2028 electoral process. Candidates must renounce other nationalities before registering; the administration says the measure aims to prevent foreign interference.
