Morena selects Sonora governor candidates, appoints Baja California congressional president

Morena is weighing several aspirants for the Sonora governorship, including senator Lorenia Iveth Valles Sampedro, former DIF director; former PAN deputy Célida Teresa López Cárdenas, ex‑tourism secretary; ex‑mayor María Dolores del Río, former state security secretary now appointed state auditor; former federal deputy Froylan Gámez Gamboo; former PRD candidate Carlos Javier Lamarque Cano, municipal president of Cajeme; and Omar Francisco Del Valle Colosio.

In Baja California, Morena deputy Eligio Valencia López was elected president of the Mesa Directiva of the state Congress for the term beginning 1 August, succeeding fellow Morena Liliana Michel Sánchez Allende. Julia Andrea González Quiroz (Morena) will serve as vice‑president and Yolanda Gaona (PAN) as secretary.
