The Distrito Federal (DF) ceased to exist on 29 January and will now officially be known as Ciudad de México (CDMX, Mexico City) after it received the minimum threshold for approval of 23 state congresses. The 16 boroughs (delegaciones) in the DF, meanwhile, will become municipalities with their own mayors and councillors.
