Morena accelerates state coordinator appointments for 2027 elections
The Morena party is accelerating its internal selection process for state coordinators, a move that serves as a precursor to the 2027 gubernatorial elections. The national leadership, including Ariadna Montiel and Citlalli Hernández, has been announcing key appointments to the Defense of the Transformation and National Sovereignty Committees.
Recent major appointments include Beatriz Mojica for Guerrero and Carlos Torres Piña for Michoacán. The selection of Mojica has faced criticism from local leaders like Abelina López, who expressed disagreement with the decision. In Michoacán, Torres Piña, a former state prosecutor, was chosen following internal surveys, a move that highlights internal political dynamics and the influence of the current state administration.
Other notable appointments include Eugenio “Gino” Segura for Quintana Roo. The party aims to complete the remaining 12 state coordinations by the end of September or early October. This process is designed to ensure party cohesion and gender parity across the 17 states scheduled for gubernatorial renewals in 2027. While the party emphasizes that selections are based on citizen recognition and internal polls, the process has also triggered legal challenges, such as the dispute in Colima regarding the designation of Rosa María Bayardo.
