Rubén Rocha Moya faces Morena investigation after return to Sinaloa governorship

Morena's National Commission of Honesty and Justice has launched an internal investigation into Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya following his unilateral decision to return to office after a 112-day leave. The party leadership, including Citlalli Hernández Mora, stated that the decision was not communicated to or supported by the national leadership and could potentially result in Rocha Moya's expulsion from the party.

Rocha Moya's return to his post occurred amid legal scrutiny, as U.S. authorities have requested his capture and extradition along with nine other former officials over alleged links to drug trafficking. President Claudia Sheinbaum characterized his return as “imprudent” and distanced the administration from his personal decision.

Internal friction within Morena is growing, with party figures such as Nora Ruvalcaba and Pablo Gutiérrez Lazarus publicly distancing themselves from the governor. They have stated that his actions do not represent the principles of the movement and that he must be held accountable to the law.
