Morena party candidates for federal deputy seats

Overview

Various political figures associated with the Morena party have announced candidacies for federal deputy positions in Mexico.

Eurípides Flores Pacheco resigned from his role as head of the Legal Affairs Unit at the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) to enter the Morena party’s internal selection process for the 6th District of Puebla. Flores Pacheco, a political ally of Secretary of Public Education Mario Delgado Carrillo, stated his intention to support the current administration.

In Chiapas, Pío López Obrador has officially registered with Morena to seek a position in District 9, based in Tuxtla Gutiérrez. He is running for the coordination of the Committees for the Defense of Transformation and National Sovereignty, a move viewed as a preliminary step toward a potential federal deputy candidacy for the 2027 elections. Describing his candidacy as a “moral commitment,” he intends to participate in the party’s internal survey-based selection process. His announcement follows previous political controversies regarding campaign financing and videos from 2020 involving official David León Romero.

Additionally, López Obrador has filed an indirect amparo against the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City (FGJCDMX), alleging a delay in a criminal investigation where he is listed as a victim. A judge has scheduled a constitutional hearing for November 10, 2026, to address the alleged inaction of the prosecutor's office.
