Mexico’s ruling party Morena will gain control of the Supreme Court following the country’s first-ever judicial elections, which were marred by low voter turnout and allegations of a power grab.

Preliminary vote tallies from Mexico's first judicial elections indicate the ruling Morena party is headed toward control over the Supreme Court.

The Morena party controls most of Mexico’s government. Its sway over the Supreme Court is set to increase after a judicial election that raised fears about democracy.
