Mexico's Green Party denies leaked candidate list

Manuel Muñoz Cano, the state leader of the Green Ecological Party of Mexico (PVEM), has denied the authenticity of a document circulating on social media that claims to list the party's candidates for upcoming elections.

Muñoz Cano clarified that the document is actually an attendance registry from a state meeting intended to consolidate the party's structure for the 2027 electoral process. He stated the list lacks legal validity and does not represent official party endorsements.

The controversy specifically involved Senator Maki Ortiz, who was incorrectly identified in social media posts as a candidate for the mayoralty of Reynosa. Muñoz Cano dismissed these claims, confirming that Ortiz remains the party's candidate for the governorship of Tamaulipas in the 2028 election.
