Months ago, the leader of the deputies also spoke about the governorship. As secondary options, the federal deputy Lily Olivares appeared in the PAN, and recently the promotion of Mercedes García Mancilla, in charge of social programs at the city council, was discussed. Claudia Sheinbaum's recent statements against imposing women candidates in electoral positions had a direct effect in Nuevo León: in the PAN, they expect the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal to rule against that criterion and confirm the candidacy of Carlos De la Fuente in San Nicolás for 2027. According to what LPO could learn, Zeferino Salgado understands that the only piece to retain the municipality without too many complications is the current coordinator of the local deputies. Last December, there was talk of De la Fuente being the candidate in Monterrey as part of negotiations between the PRI and PAN that have not been finalized.
