Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether the Government plans to have a role in monitoring the forthcoming general election in Mexico.

Officials at the British Embassy in Mexico City have attended briefings on the electoral process presented by Mexico’s National Electoral Institute (INE) and by the Electoral Tribunal, and will also informally observe the elections as accredited visitors. We understand that the Organisation of American States (OAS) will send a formal observation mission to Mexico for the elections.
