In Zacatecas, the political landscape is taking shape while awaiting final confirmations. However, one of the few certainties within the MORENA party is the rejection of Saúl Monreal's candidacy. Monreal, a senator, seeks to leave the Senate to succeed his brother, the current governor. Meanwhile, Senator Verónica Díaz Robles also polls at 13%, similar to her counterpart from the Labor Party (PT). Ulises Mejía Haro, a federal deputy, has the advantage of having been mayor of Zacatecas City, where he built a strong political network that supported Claudia Sheinbaum's 2024 campaign. Thus, the race in Zacatecas appears to be heading towards a contest between Mejía Haro and Díaz Robles. The Monreal family, including Governor David Monreal, is promoting Díaz Robles, suggesting she might be one of the few female candidates from the party. In contrast, a recent poll by Enkoll shows Mejía Haro leading with 38% of the vote. Saúl Monreal's path seems increasingly blocked, as both the ruling party and its allies, PT and the Green Party, have closed the door on his candidacy.
