Mexico's ruling 4T coalition is reportedly concerned about a potential increase in female gubernatorial candidates for the 2027 elections. Rumors suggest that Claudia Sheinbaum might promote ten female candidacies, exceeding the gender parity required by law. This could disrupt the plans of some male politicians already campaigning and create internal conflicts. In states like Michoacán and Baja California Sur, where no woman has yet been governor, female candidacies are being considered. Such a move could lead to the need for an "operational healing" process for those who lose out and an acceleration in the candidate selection timeline to ensure coalition unity before the elections, which are scheduled for the midpoint of Sheinbaum's term.
