Claudia Sheinbaum assumed office as the 66th president of Mexico on 1 October 2024. Under the Mexican Constitution, the president has the authority to directly appoint members of the federal cabinet, who do not require legislative confirmation.
Reforms to the Federal Public Administration
On 28 November 2024, Sheinbaum enacted a reform to the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration that created three new federal entities and reorganized an existing one.[1][2][3] The Secretariat of Women replaced the National Institute for Women, assuming responsibility for coordinating federal policy on gender equality, the prevention of gender-based violence, and the protection of women’s rights.[4] The Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology, and Innovation succeeded the National Council of Humanities, Sciences, and Technologies (CONAHCYT), taking over the planning and coordination of national public policy in scientific research, technological development, and innovation.[3] The Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency was established to concentrate federal digital government functions, including the modernization of administrative procedures and the coordination of telecommunications and digital public services.[3] The reform also replaced the Secretariat of the Civil Service with the Secretariat of Anticorruption and Good Governance, expanding its role to include the design and coordination of federal anti-corruption policy, oversight of public administration, and the promotion of transparency and accountability.[1]
As part of a broader centralization of federal government functions, on 20 December 2024, Sheinbaum published a reform dissolving seven autonomous agencies and transferring their responsibilities to cabinet secretariats.[5] Under the reform, the Secretariat of Anti-Corruption and Good Governance assumed the transparency and data protection functions of the National Institute of Transparency for Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI), while the Secretariat of Energy absorbed the regulatory functions of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) and the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH). Educational evaluation functions previously carried out by National Institute for the Evaluation of Education (MejorEdu) were transferred to the Secretariat of Public Education, and poverty measurement and social policy evaluation formerly conducted by the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL) were reassigned to the autonomous National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI). The competition functions of the Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE) and the competition-related functions of the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) were assigned to a newly created National Antitrust Commission, a decentralized agency of the executive, and other telecommunications regulatory functions formerly under the IFT were to be assumed by the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation.[6]
Cabinet
Shortly after the 2024 general election, Sheinbaum began announcing her cabinet appointments in phases. The first set of appointments was announced on 20 June 2024, with additional appointments revealed weekly through 18 July.[7][8][9] On 6 September, she announced her appointments to the Secretariat of National Defense and the Secretariat of the Navy.[10]
The cabinet has been noted for its gender parity, with women holding roughly half of the cabinet posts, and for its continuity with the administration of her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.[11][12] Several appointees had served in López Obrador’s cabinet, including Rogelio Ramírez de la O, Marcelo Ebrard, Marath Baruch Bolaños López, and Ariadna Montiel Reyes, while others were drawn from Sheinbaum’s team during her tenure as Head of Government of Mexico City, such as Omar García Harfuch, Luz Elena González Escobar, Jesús Antonio Esteva Medina, and Ernestina Godoy Ramos.[12][13] The cabinet also included Mario Delgado, who served as Morena's president and as general coordinator of Sheinbaum's presidential campaign.[14] In addition to career politicians, Sheinbaum appointed individuals with technical and academic backgrounds to senior posts, including Juan Ramón de la Fuente and David Kershenobich.[13]

| Name | Post | Date of leaving cabinet | Reason | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rogelio Ramírez de la O | Secretary of Finance | 7 March 2025 | Ramírez de la O resigned citing personal reasons.[15] He had previously agreed with President Sheinbaum to remain in office until the approval of the 2025 federal budget in December 2024 but extended his tenure until March 2025 in response to economic uncertainty caused by tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.[16] | |
| Ernestina Godoy Ramos | Legal Counsel of the Federal Executive | 27 November 2025 | Godoy Ramos resigned to assume the interim leadership of the Attorney General's Office (FGR) following the resignation of Alejandro Gertz Manero.
