In Chihuahua, we are governed by Chihuahuans, not by an outsider senator. This was stated by the mayor of Ciudad Juárez, Cruz Pérez Cuéllar, emphasizing his significant differences with the political team of former Secretary Andrés Manuel López Obrador. In this way, the Fourth Transformation has revived the tensions that exist in Chihuahua, a state that will also hold elections in 2027, but, unlike other entities such as Guerrero, Zacatecas, or San Luis Potosí, appeared less tense. 'In Chihuahua, we are governed by Chihuahuans,' the mayor, who is also seeking the local candidacy for the 2027 elections, fired off. In this large state, the electoral climate is already beginning to take shape for next year's elections. 'In Chihuahua, we are governed by Chihuahuans, not an outsider senator,' the mayor declared on Wednesday after the Tabasco man named Senator Andrea Chávez as the guinda party's candidate for governor in next year's elections. 'Here, we are governed by locals, not a senator who doesn't vote here,' he shot back. In Chihuahua, the people rule, and the people will decide. This is no surprise when considering, for example, that Chihuahua is one of the few states that Morena has never governed to date and that important figures from the 4T are involved in its internal definitions with strong leaders at the helm and significant differences between them. Desperate, Abraham demands that Andrea completely distance herself from Adán: 'He will sink us.' This Wednesday, for instance, Adán Augusto revived the tensions after naming his party colleague Andrea Chávez as a candidate for the 2027 elections. 'In Chihuahua, the people rule, and the people will decide,' the mayor retorted, who also seeks to run for governor in 2027 and thus become the first local governor elected by the guinda party. It seems that now, with Adán Augusto's departure from the coordination of the guinda party in the Senate and his decision to maintain quotas of power due to his new electoral and operational role, the differences will deepen in this large state, where the PAN is betting on maintaining its state influence. This could be a problem for Morena's national leadership. This includes, for example, the sectors that respond to Adán Augusto, Pérez Cuéllar, and others, such as that of Ariadna Montiel, who is a native of the region and also shows electoral interests. The truth is that the various sectors involved have significant interests in this state, and despite there being more than a year before the polls open, tensions and crises between them are beginning to emerge. In Ciudad Juárez, the mayor, Cruz Pérez Cuéllar, crossed swords with the now-former coordinator for having anticipated Andrea Chávez's candidacy. 'All of us in this party are committed to supporting our comrades who are candidates for popularly elected positions,' he added. As detailed by LPO, this generated displeasure in the National Palace, where they consider that the former governor is beginning to unveil figures from his circle for candidacies that are not yet defined and in which the President's own close team, Claudia Sheinbaum, also seeks to influence preferences. Despite having resigned from the coordination of Morena in the Senate, Adán Augusto still generates disputes and discomforts for the 4T. In any case, in the capital's Zócalo, it was not the only place where there was displeasure. 'She is the best-positioned,' affirmed the Tabasco man, who considers that the entity currently governed by the PAN 'deserves a good government.' Different sources within the 4T agree that Morena could win the 2027 elections, but they highlight that for this, it will be fundamental for the unity and joint work of the different political groups that aspire to positions of power.
