Argentina and Mexico intensify political preparations for 2027 elections

Political activity is intensifying across Argentina and Mexico as various leaders and parties prepare for the 2027 electoral cycle.

In Argentina, Santa Fe has established its 2027 electoral calendar, with primary elections (PASO) scheduled for April 18 and general elections on June 13. In Salta, the PRO party has begun organizing, with Nicolás Maggio expressing interest in the governorship. Meanwhile, in Berisso and San Miguel, local leaders are already navigating succession challenges due to term limit legislations.

In Mexico, the Morena party has opened registration for federal district coordinations, triggering a wave of resignations among government officials seeking candidacy for the 2027 elections. This movement includes officials in Veracruz, Puebla, and Zacatecas. The INE is monitoring these activities to prevent premature campaigning. Additionally, Morena is navigating internal tensions regarding national and local alliances, particularly with the PT, as it seeks to define its strategy for upcoming gubernatorial and legislative contests.
