Overview
- On Thursday, dozens of aspirants filed in person at Mexico City’s World Trade Center while others registered online after Morena, the PT and the PVEM reopened sign-ups for coordinators in 17 states.
- Citlalli Hernández, head of Morena’s National Elections Commission, reported 124 Morena registrants so far, with 91 online filings and 33 made in person.
- Michoacán drew concentrated competition with high‑profile entrants such as Raúl Morón, Reyna Celeste Ascencio and former state fiscal Carlos Torres Piña, and the PT publicly backed Morón to try to block what local leaders call an imposed candidacy by Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla.
- The party’s rules are being enforced: Morena barred Félix Salgado from seeking Guerrero’s coordination because his daughter Evelyn Salgado is the sitting governor and the call bans immediate family holding both roles.
- Registrations close on Saturday and the chosen state coordinators will serve as the primary gateway to 2027 gubernatorial candidacies, a selection that could reshape local power maps, prompt more resignations from officeholders and intensify intra‑alliance negotiations.
