Notes

^ Ana Lilia Herrera Anzaldo, the original choice, left the Senate to become the Secretary of Education of the State of Mexico.
^ The Labor Party declined to name one of its senators, as it disagreed with the creation of the list of senatorial designees. Romero Hicks of the PAN was selected instead.
^ Replaced Pablo Escudero Morales after he was designated President of the Senate.
