Tony Gali Fayad joins Movimiento Ciudadano in Puebla

Tony Gali Fayad, former governor and mayor of Puebla, has officially re-entered the political scene after eight years of inactivity by joining the Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) party. Gali Fayad, who has previously held various public offices without formal party affiliation, has been appointed as a delegate for the party's national leadership in Puebla.

In recent statements, Gali Fayad clarified that his primary objective is to strengthen the party's organization and presence across the 217 municipalities of the state. He explicitly ruled out seeking candidacy for the mayoralty of Puebla or any legislative seats, noting that he has already served as mayor.

His return has sparked significant speculation regarding the political landscape leading up to the 2027 elections. While his official role focuses on party building and citizen engagement, observers note that his presence as an experienced political figure significantly alters the strategic calculations for opposition parties in the region.
