Mexico’s federal election court (TEPJF) announced that they would decide most of the continuing inquiries to the July 2 presidential race today.

In a statement Sunday, the Federal Electoral Tribunal said it will hold a public session beginning at 8 a.m. during which it will rule on all 375 complaints contesting the official voting results.

It was unclear how long such a session would take, but at its conclusion, the court’s seven judges will likely be in a position to determine the election’s definitive outcome. The court’s statement, however, did not say if it would announce a president-elect at the session’s end.

Once the court’s seven judges have decided, they will make release the official results of the court-ordered partial recount. By law, the electoral court has until Sept. 6 to declare a president-elect or to annul the election.

Meanwhile, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) have came out and firmly stated that a court ruling in favor of Calderon would merely complete the fraud. AMLO has called on his supporters to hold a National Democratic Convention (NDC) on September 16 (Mexico’s Independence Day) at the encampment site. The purpose of the NDC is to discuss their options if Felipe Calderón were to be declared the winner by TEPJF. On Sunday, López Obrador told his supporters that during the convention they could determine if they should either lead a civil resistance movement against his rival or establish some type of parallel government.
