The local deputies elected by 66 votes in favor the members of the Board of Directors of the Congress of Mexico City. Martha Ávila was elected as president and vice presidents were elected Olivia Garza, Elizabeth Guerrero, Maria Morales and Yolanda Alicia Lopez.

By majority vote, the Superior Chamber confirmed the integration of the local Congress on Friday night, leaving the Morena-PT-PVEM alliance one vote away from a qualified majority.
