This morning, Mario Delgado, national president of Morena, assured that there is a margin of “90 percent of the ballot boxes checked by all applicants, ballot for ballot, we are missing 10 percent or less.”
Interviewed on the sidelines of the World Trade Center (WTC), the leader of the Guinda party claimed that “within 12 hours at the latest,” work could begin to identify respondents’ “preferences” for each of the six candidates at the top of the defense of the Fourth Transformation: in alphabetical order: Marcelo Ebrard, Gerardo Fernández Noroa, Adán Augusto López, Ricardo Monreal, Claudia Sheinbaum, and Manuel Velasco.
So far, in the review, Delgado claimed that “we haven’t had any false ballots” because there are “many padlocks that bring certainty and transparency to the outcome.”
He outlined some of the most important “guarantee procedures”: aspirant representatives were present in the riot areas; The implementation was carried out with a tablet, which enables precise georeferencing of each questionnaire: day, time, and duration of the questionnaire, as well as the recording of the people questioned.”
All of this data will be made available to each applicant after the completion of the process.
In addition, “the ballot paper was deposited in a ballot box. There is a beginning act and an ending act for each day of lifting; The signatures on the minutes must match the signatures on the ballot papers; they were all signed.”
He stressed that “we added a security measure to the ballot that is only visible in ultraviolet light.”
The director explained that while progress was being made on the review, it was not expected to advance at the expected rate.

“Although there are only a few ballot boxes left, they are complicated and represent different incidents that need to be evaluated from a technical and political point of view. Therefore, we calculate the times that are fulfilled as planned.”
Among the incidents, “it is determined that the seal could be broken, then the ballot box is opened and a check is made to ensure that the ballots are signed, that those signatures match the protocol, and that the representative is accredited in the applicants’ database.”
“There are other ballot boxes where there are other considerations, such as when an advertisement (in favor of one of the applicants) was placed in a house that does not meet the criteria.”
He explained that once the review and preference calculation are complete, the pollsters hired will perform their final calculation to ensure their sample is representative at the national level. They will then present the results together with the president of the party’s National Council, Alfonso Peach
He insisted the private meeting, where both leaders will privately brief the applicants on the results of the six applicants, remain set for 5 p.m.
Regarding the handing over of the baton to which President Andrés Manuel López Obrador referred, he said that it will be the President who will determine the timing of that handover, but clarified: “It will depend on the President when he will make that handover. I don’t know if it’s symbolic or physical, what the characteristics of this ceremony will be, and when and who will be there.”
Meanwhile, the party’s National Council has called its members to a meeting on Sunday, at which the certificate will be handed over to the party corcholata Winner.
