A fresh call by the governor for a female nominee drew pro-Butanda chants in front of Morena figures.

Overview

  • At a Sahuayo forum titled Voces de Mujeres, regional women leaders publicly endorsed Gladyz Butanda as Morena’s option to continue the 4T in 2027.
  • Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla in Zitácuaro said it is “time of women” and predicted a woman’s portrait in the governors’ gallery for 2027, prompting chants for Butanda.
  • Morena leaders including congressional coordinator Fabiola Alanís Sámano and state party chair Jesús Mora were present as the message landed.
  • Supporters branding themselves as the “Gladyadorez” have appeared at official events with identifiable vests and cartoon placards to boost Butanda’s visibility.
