Graciela Domínguez Nava Sinaloa governorship Rubén Rocha Moya interim governor Sinaloa State Congress

The Sinaloa State Congress has designated Graciela Domínguez Nava as the interim governor of Sinaloa. The decision follows an indefinite leave of absence requested by the current governor, Rubén Rocha Moya. Domínguez Nava, a former Secretary of Public Education and Culture for the state and a former federal deputy, will serve in this capacity until the current constitutional term concludes on October 31, 2027.

The appointment was approved by a majority vote of 31 in favor and six against, with opposition coming from the PAN and PRI parties. In her first official communications, Domínguez Nava emphasized that her administration's primary focus will be restoring peace, security, and public trust within the state. She pledged to govern for all citizens without turning the government into the property of any specific individual or political group.

President Claudia Sheinbaum has expressed support for the transition, describing Domínguez Nava as an honest leader committed to social justice. Domínguez Nava has already begun coordinating with her state cabinet to establish work priorities and ensure institutional continuity during this period.
