Morena gears up for 2027 internal elections amid candidate polls and party disputes
Recent internal polls show Gaby Molina leading among women candidates for the Morena coalition in Michoacán, with 29.2 % voter intention, ahead of Fabiola Alanís. In Guerrero, Esthela Damián highlighted the historic left‑leaning municipality of Alcozauca as a base for her coordination bid.
Gladyz Butanda has toured 19 Michoacán municipalities, gathering more than 23 000 supporters and emphasizing a grassroots push for the party’s “Transformation” agenda ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial races.
Morena activists in the State of Mexico formed the “Expresión Política Social” network, demanding that candidate selection follow party principles and avoid favoritism.
Separately, Morena’s parliamentary leader Ricardo Monreal announced plans to send a formal letter to the Inter‑American Commission on Human Rights and the United Nations to denunciate alleged ICE violations against Mexican migrants, reflecting the party’s broader human‑rights focus.
Other political developments include criticism of the INE’s lax enforcement of campaign rules, the PRI’s warning of a “vote‑punishment” against the ruling coalition, and accusations from the PAN that coordinated online campaigns target Morena candidates.
