Despite speculation about being favored by the current governor, <b>Alfredo Bedolla<\/b>, Torres Pi\u00f1a has clearly stated that he does not consider himself the \u201cfavorite.\u201d His participation comes during the internal process of the Morena party, aimed at selecting candidates for the 2027 governorship elections.<\/p>\n<h2>Internal Process of Morena<\/h2>\n<p>As of June 25, 2026, Morena is actively conducting its internal selection process for state coordinators of the <b>Defense of Transformation<\/b> and <b>National Sovereignty<\/b>. This initiative is critical as it determines the candidates for 17 governorships in the upcoming elections. Torres Pi\u00f1a took a leave from his prosecutorial duties on June 16 to participate in this process.<\/p>\n<h3>Unity Among Contenders<\/h3>\n<p>During a media briefing, Torres Pi\u00f1a emphasized the importance of unity within the party. He asserted, \u201cWe believe that <b>the floor must be even<\/b> for everyone,\u201d conveying his hope that all participants would collaborate harmoniously regardless of the election outcomes. His comments reflect a commitment to maintaining a cooperative and constructive environment amid competition.<\/p>\n<h3>Closeness to Governor Bedolla<\/h3>\n<p>Torres Pi\u00f1a acknowledged his good rapport with Governor Bedolla but reiterated that such relationships should not dictate favoritism in a democratic process. He commented, \u201cWe have an excellent relationship and institutional work with local and federal authorities,\u201d indicating that his candidacy is based on merit rather than political alliances.<\/p>\n<h2>Competitive Landscape<\/h2>\n<p>On the third day of candidate registrations at the World Trade Center in Mexico City, 11 candidates were added to Morena&#8217;s ranks, including recognizable names such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Mar\u00eda Fabiola Alan\u00eds S\u00e1mano<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Reyna Celeste Ascencio Ortega<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Gabriela Desire\u00e9 Molina Aguilar<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Ra\u00fal Mor\u00f3n Orozco<\/b><\/li>\n<li>and others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each applicant will have <b>45 days<\/b> to campaign across the state, hosting informational assemblies to engage with party members. Importantly, the party has issued guidelines prohibiting negative campaigning against other contenders, with noncompliance potentially leading to disqualification from the process.<\/p>\n<h2>Growing Number of Applicants<\/h2>\n<p>In total, Morena has seen <b>124 applicants<\/b> within the first three days, a mix of former public officials, senators, and activists. This surge in interest signals a vibrant political atmosphere as parties gear up for the crucial elections. Notably, these numbers do not yet include registrations from allied parties like the <b>Labor Party<\/b> and the <b>Green Ecologist of Mexico<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>As the registration process continues, Citlalli Hern\u00e1ndez, president of the party&#8217;s National Election Commission, assures that the proceedings are characterized by \u201ctransparency, unity, and an atmosphere of trust.\u201d With more registration days ahead, the competitiveness of Michoac\u00e1n&#8217;s political landscape will likely intensify.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/category\/general\/\" rel=\"dofollow\">General News &#8211; 2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former prosecutor of Michoac\u00e1n denies being Alfredo Bedolla&#8217;s favorite to run for governor.
