Morena’s leadership has already given the first names of the candidates with which she will seek to win new mayors in Mexico City or maintain the ones she already has. Morena currently rules in 11 of the 16 demarcations of the capital.
Among the designated candidates are Deputy and Former Supporter Dolores Padierna who will seek mayoral Cuauhtémoc, a territory that was in dispute with Ricardo Monreal’s political group.
The party also endorsed the appointment of Mayor Victor Hugo Romo to Miguel Hidalgo, so Morena would bet on re-election in that demarcation.
