  • Morena has announced its first state coordinators for the defense of transformation and national sovereignty in Aguascalientes, Campeche, and Colima, ahead of the 2027 elections.
  • Nora Ruvalcaba Gรกmez, formerly of the PRD and a subsecretary of Higher Education, will lead in Aguascalientes.
  • Pablo Gutiรฉrrez Lazarus, previously with the PAN and a former mayor, will head the effort in Campeche, linked to Governor Layda Sansores.

Morena has named its initial state coordinators for the "defense of transformation and national sovereignty" in Aguascalientes, Campeche, and Colima, signaling preparations for the 2027 elections.

In Aguascalientes, Nora Ruvalcaba Gรกmez takes the lead. A long-time leftist politician, she previously served as the first state president of Morena in Aguascalientes and later as a delegate for Development Programs. President Andrรฉs Manuel Lรณpez Obrador appointed her as undersecretary of Higher Education in 2022. Her 2022 gubernatorial campaign in Aguascalientes received significant backing from the national party leadership.

Pablo Gutiรฉrrez Lazarus will coordinate efforts in Campeche. He is not an original Morena member, having previously belonged to the National Action Party (PAN) and served as mayor of Carmen from 2015 to 2018. His transition to Morena is closely tied to the political project of Governor Layda Sansores. He became a key political figure for Morena in Ciudad del Carmen after joining the party in 2021, aligning with Sansores' successful gubernatorial bid.

Rosa Marรญa "Rosi" Bayardo Cabrera is the third appointed coordinator, though details about her background were not elaborated upon in the provided text. The article focuses on the political trajectories of Ruvalcaba and Gutiรฉrrez Lazarus, highlighting their past affiliations and their current roles within Morena's strategic appointments for upcoming electoral cycles.
