MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Lawmakers in Mexico's lower house of Congress voted overwhelmingly on Monday in favor of legislation that will implement a controversial judicial overhaul moving the country to a system of elected judges over the next three years.

 

The so-called secondary legislation passed the Chamber of Deputies on a vote of 336 lawmakers in favor and 123 against, powered by the large majority wielded by the ruling Morena party of President Claudia Sheinbaum.

 

"This marks the end of corruption," said Morena lawmaker Maria Rosete, shortly after the vote count was announced.

 

"Because when we transform state-conferred powers, that means we're burying the interests that served Mr. Money, not those of the people."

 

Late last week, Mexico's Senate passed the regulations that will spell out how the overhaul will be carried out.
