Morena state candidate selection

Overview

On 29 July 2026, Morena began a formal review of roughly 300 applications to become coordinators of the Defence of the Transformation in Baja California Sur. The role involves house‑to‑house outreach, informational assemblies and cooperation with allied parties, and could later serve as a stepping‑stone to the 2027 state‑governor race. The party said it would verify documents, contact applicants with incomplete paperwork and eventually publish a list of approved candidates.

Two days later, on 1 August 2026, Morena announced it was weighing several aspirants for the Sonora governorship, naming former senators, officials and local politicians under consideration. In the same release, Morena deputy Eligio Valencia López was elected president of the Mesa Directiva of the Baja California state Congress, with party colleagues appointed as vice‑president and secretary.

These entries illustrate Morena’s parallel processes of vetting and appointing candidates across multiple western Mexican states as it prepares its slate for the 2027 elections.
