MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - In a marathon session, Mexico's lower house of Congress approved on Wednesday morning a controversial judicial reform, a crucial step towards cementing a key ambition of outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and setting the tone for the next administration.

The lower house's debate began Tuesday afternoon (4 pm local time) and lasted more than 12 hours before it was passed with 359 votes in favor and 135 votes against. It will now move to the Senate for further debate, where it is expected to be approved on Morena's strong majority.
