By Cassandra Garrison MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Judges aligned with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's ruling Morena political party are expected to dominate the country's Supreme Court after a vote that critics feared would weaken checks and balances on the executive branch's power.

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.
