Luisa María Alcalde Elected as New Leader of Mexico's Morena Party

Alcalde will guide Morena through the post-Lopez Obrador era, with the president's son taking a key organizational role.

Luisa María Alcalde, former Interior Secretary, was elected as the new president of Mexico's ruling Morena party.
Andres Manuel Lopez Beltran, son of outgoing President Lopez Obrador, was appointed as Secretary of Organization.
Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's President-elect, praised Alcalde's leadership and called for unity within the party.
Alcalde's election marks a significant transition as Morena moves forward without its founder, Lopez Obrador, who will retire from politics.
Morena has grown rapidly since its founding in 2011, now governing 23 of Mexico's 32 states and holding majorities in both chambers of Congress.
