Political tensions are escalating in Jalisco involving electoral oversight and party competition. Initial reports indicate formal complaints filed with the Instituto Electoral y de Participación Ciudadana (IEPC) regarding alleged premature campaign activities by Morena Senator Carlos Lomelí Bolaños. Concurrently, Morena leadership has requested that the IEPC delay major decisions until a permanent president is appointed to ensure legal certainty.

As the IEPC discusses 2027 budget requirements with the Jalisco State Congress, political opposition has intensified. Juan Pablo Colín, president of the PAN in Jalisco, has urged citizens to reject Morena in upcoming elections, warning that Morena governance could lead to security risks and the influence of organized crime within the state.
