Overview

• Senator Saúl Monreal insisted he should not be ruled out early for the 2027 Zacatecas governorship and said he would be governor if voters want it, after posting and then removing a video with that message.
• Claudia Sheinbaum stated she opposes nepotism and emphasized that while a national reform takes effect in 2030, Morena will apply the restriction in 2027 for its own candidates.
• Morena’s national leader, Luisa María Alcalde, previously confirmed the party’s decision not to put direct relatives of current governors on the ballot.
• Ricardo Monreal urged his brother to serenarse, said Saúl will not commit “suicidio político” and will support the president, and pledged to speak with him soon while downplaying any family or party rupture in Zacatecas.
• Governor David Monreal said Saúl must take responsibility for his words and actions, as the senator also left open a possible run with PT or PVEM depending on coalition arrangements.
