In Tamaulipas, political transitions have begun with the resignation of Gerardo Illoldi, former Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare under Governor Américo Villarreal Anaya. His departure has led to speculation regarding a potential run for the mayoralty of Tampico or a seat in the federal Chamber of Deputies.

As the political landscape evolves, analysts have advised potential 2028 gubernatorial aspirants to avoid premature campaigning and instead demonstrate loyalty to the current administration. Success for future candidates is expected to be tied to their alignment with executive projects and their performance in the 2027 municipal and legislative elections.

In Sinaloa, the Labor Party (PT) appointed Federal Deputy Jesús Ibarra Ramos as the Affiliation Coordinator for Culiacán. While the PT maintains an alliance with Morena, it remains uncertain if this appointment was coordinated with Morena leadership.
