Morena has transitioned into active organizational structuring for the 2027 elections. Following reports of membership discrepancies, national leader Ariadna Montiel Reyes noted a membership of approximately 12 million, while the National Electoral Institute (INE) has validated 11.6 million. To maintain movement integrity, the party is utilizing a mechanism to vet the backgrounds of external profiles seeking to join. Internal selection processes for state and municipal coordinators are underway in regions including Colima, Jalisco, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, and Baja California Sur. In Jalisco, leadership disputes have emerged regarding control of Guadalajara, while in Baja California Sur, the party is employing an ‘operation scar’ strategy to reintegrate losing candidates into territorial work. In Mexico City, Paulo García González has been appointed to coordinate electoral tasks aimed at converting social support into victories through upcoming territorial organization and information campaigns. To conclude its citizen assemblies, the party held a mass assembly at the Plaza de las Tres Culturas in Tlatelolco. During this event, Citlalli Hernández, president of the Election Commission, emphasized the selection of high-quality candidates to defend national sovereignty and the ongoing transformation project. Regarding gubernatorial nominations, analysts suggest an official announcement may occur in September. The timing was reportedly delayed to avoid overshadowing the presidential report and President Claudia Sheinbaum’s upcoming visit. Potential candidates under speculation include Célida López, Lorenia Valles, Javier Lamarque, and María Dolores del Río. In Tamaulipas, Rómulo Pérez Sánchez, president of the State Council, stated that the National Elections Commission will handle candidate selections to prevent favoritism. The federal coordination call is expected toward the end of September 2026, with municipal calls following roughly 15 days later. The commission will review profiles for municipal presidencies, local deputy positions, and federal deputy positions.
