Political tension has emerged in Ciudad Juárez regarding the potential 2027 gubernatorial candidacy of Cruz Pérez Cuéllar. In July 2026, left-leaning activists began collecting signatures to oppose his run as the Morena candidate for the Chihuahua governorship. Critics, including representative Félix Manuel Lazos Ibarra, questioned his left-wing credentials, citing municipal government actions involving migrant families.

By August 2026, Pérez Cuéllar held a meeting with civil society organizations, allies, and supporters to discuss his political project and demonstrate community support for his ambitions. The event, which reportedly exceeded venue capacity, focused on organizing participation across various sectors for the upcoming electoral process.
