Sonora advances housing goals amid political shifts in Hermosillo

Sonora has reached over 50% of its goal to provide 67,500 homes through the Vivienda para el Bienestar program. Governor Alfonso Durazo Montaño reported that 38,986 housing actions are currently in progress, including construction, upcoming starts, and projects in development. Key municipalities involved include Hermosillo, Cajeme, Nogales, and Guaymas.

In political developments, the National Action Party (PAN) is positioning Hermosillo Mayor Antonio Astiazarán as a primary figure for the 2027 Sonora gubernatorial race. PAN national leader Jorge Romero Herrera announced that Astiazarán will be named coordinator of the Defense of the Homeland, Family, and Liberty in Sonora. Romero indicated that the PAN is working toward an electoral alliance with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) to unify the opposition, with formal coalition terms expected in December.
