Overview

• Saúl Monreal reaffirmed his aspiration to seek the Zacatecas governorship, saying he will fight within Morena and wait for the formal electoral timeline.
• He said he would analyze a PRI or PAN option if Morena’s process is not transparent or inclusive, though he told Milenio he will first await the party’s call.
• He argued his 27-year career should be weighed and said he respects the president’s advice but opposes being ruled out solely for a family relationship.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly advised him to wait six years and noted that voters would evaluate any decision to run under another party’s banner.
• Morena’s approved reform bars a sitting governor from being succeeded by a family member, and tensions resurfaced at Sheinbaum’s anniversary event as Ricardo Monreal said he was “encorralado.”
