Oaxaca's Governor Salomón Jara Cruz has undertaken a significant reshuffle in his cabinet, making 12 changes aimed at addressing citizen dissatisfaction following a recent political mandate referendum. During an interview with El Financiero, he emphasized the need for accountability and responsiveness to the public's demands, particularly in light of the results from the January 25 mandate revocation vote, where a segment of the population expressed their desire for him to step down.

In this reshuffle, Jara has also committed to eliminating nepotism within his administration, announcing that all officials with familial ties to him have resigned. This measure aims to restore public confidence in his leadership and ensure a more transparent government. By removing these officials, Jara hopes to mitigate the social discontent that has been brewing among the electorate, which has been vocal about their dissatisfaction with perceived corrupt practices and lack of effective governance.

The governor stated that the new appointments will be closely monitored through regular evaluations to assess their performance and efficacy. This move is not only a direct response to the political challenges he faces but also aligns with a broader trend in governance where leaders are increasingly held accountable for their administration's performance. Jara's commitment to listening to the public and making necessary adjustments reflects a shift towards more participatory governance in Oaxaca, which could set a precedent for future administrations.
