08/31/10 – The Nation Executive Committee (Comité Ejecutivo Nacional – CEN) of the National Action Party (Partido Acción Nacional – PAN) unanimously decided to expel the Governor of Aguascalientes Luis Armando Reynoso Femat from the ranks of the PAN. In a two-hour session the members concluded the expulsion process initiated on the 17of August, in just less than 15 days.
On his part, the governor petitioned the Electoral Court of the Judicial Power of the Federation (Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación –TEPJF) to determine the validity of his expulsion. The supreme body will then define and clarify the allegations against him.
Reynoso was charged with supporting the Institutional Revolutionary Party (Partido Revolucionario Institucional – PRI) governor candidate, Carlos Lozano de la Torre, in the July 4 elections, and doing everything possible so that the PAN would not retain the Aguascalientes government with Martín Orozco.
The decision is in accordance with the PAN Regulation on the Application of Sanctions (Reglamento sobre Aplicación de Sanciones del PAN), “ [to] participate with another political party,” “ [to] realize actions aimed at the benefit of another party,” and “[to] provide economic support or of any other nature to any other political party.”
