The super delegates of Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Colima, Guerrero, Nayarit, Querétaro and Tlaxcala resigned from office in October to seek gubernaturas in their states.
As part of the 2021 election process and before President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s deadline for public servants seeking office to resign, four State Delegates to the Development Programmes announced their departure this Saturday.
Lorena Cuéllar, a licensed federal deputy and representative for Tlaxcala, reported at a press conference her separation from office “to take a step forward on my path to continue serving our state.”
