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.

Hugo Aguilar campaigned for Mexico's Supreme Court with the simple message that he would finally give Indigenous Mexicans a voice at one of the highest levels of government.

Nearly 90 percent of voters did not cast ballots on Sunday, one of the lowest turnouts in any federal election since Mexico became a democracy.
