If Daniel Acosta takes over at the Administrative Tower, Flores' chances will increase. This is a delicate political move because Herrera is one of the governor's most valued officials, and since 2023, he has been advising her to build her career in Monterrey. However, Flores has become a central figure as he is in charge of the two most critical political issues: the relationship with Morena and the mission to dismantle the PAN-PRI alliance. Now, he intends to forge his own political path, starting in Monterrey. This turn impacts the potential departure of Herrera, as she, like Flores, wants to leave a trusted figure in the Secretary's office to boost her electoral prospects in Monterrey. The rumors circulating this Monday about Martha Herrera's future in the state cabinet are not new in political circles: since January, there has been talk of a reshuffle in Governor Samuel García's staff, and the name of the head of government social policy always comes up. The novelty is that, unlike in January, a new actor has now emerged in the plot: Government Secretary Miguel Flores has begun to consider the possibility of running for mayor in the capital. According to his own private statements, he has already taken the legal steps in that direction. Flores, the most decisive man in the cabinet after the governor, is no longer content with being interim. Thus, Herrera's replacement holds the key to the mayoral candidacy.
