Mexican politician Ariadna Montiel has decided to withdraw from the electoral race, which could impact the political landscape of the state. Montiel had been considered a potential candidate for the 2027 elections. According to internal sources, Montiel will not seek the governorship and instead has proposed that her trusted person, Mayra Chávez, take a position in Ciudad Juárez.
Chihuahua is shaping up as an important scenario given that Morena has not yet managed to win in that state and is looking to dethrone the PAN. Among the possible candidates are the current mayor of Ciudad Juárez, Cruz Pérez Cuéllar, and senator Andrea Chávez. Montiel has been supporting local deputy Brenda Ríos in the state capital.
Amid this scenario, the 4T is already planning its strategies for future electoral challenges, especially for the gubernatorial elections of 2027. Although Montiel has declined her direct participation in the race, it is speculated that she could lend her support to Cruz Pérez Cuéllar.
Montiel's figure is relevant in the region, as she was a local deputy and leader of the PRI, which gives her significant political and territorial structure. The landscape in Chihuahua is shaping up between two figures within the ruling party in the fight to defeat the PAN in future elections.
