Morena will decide on Inzunza's candidacy amid narco allegations, says Sheinbaum

President Claudia Sheinbaum has stated that the decision on whether Senator Enrique Inzunza can pursue the governorship of Sinaloa rests with her party, Morena. This comes amid allegations from the United States linking Inzunza to organized crime.

During her morning press conference, Sheinbaum explained that the party will issue a call for its internal polls and that candidates may need to step down from their current positions. "Morena will decide," she said, adding that the party will review candidates' backgrounds and conditions.

When asked if she viewed the situation negatively, Sheinbaum declined to offer a personal opinion. She stressed that such decisions are internal to Morena's processes for selecting candidates for elected office, comparing it to how any other political party would handle such matters.

Inzunza himself has stated he will remain in his Senate seat until 2030, despite being absent for 50 days. Sheinbaum reiterated that she does not know if Inzunza will run, as it is not her decision to make.
