Senator Andrea Chávez Resigns to Run for Governor of Chihuahua

Senator Andrea Chávez from Morena has resigned to run for governor of Chihuahua in the 2027 elections. In her farewell speech to the Senate, she declared her intention to end the 100-year rule of PRIAN in the state. Her colleagues and allies in the Senate praised her work and expressed support for her candidacy.


Senator Andrea Chávez has left her post to run for governor of Chihuahua. Following President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo's suggestion that candidates for the 2027 elections take a leave of absence, Senator Andrea Chávez initiated the process to step down from her position. The Morena party member, who is also pregnant, aspires to be the governor of Chihuahua. During Tuesday's session, the Board of Directors announced to the Senate Plenary the request for a leave of absence; Morena senators and allies showered her with praise, assuring that she would be the next governor. 'Today I leave the Senate to personally attend to the task of ending 100 years of PRIAN rule in Chihuahua. I am not leaving, I am returning. They are the ones who are leaving. Those who made corruption, revenge, and secret payrolls their way of life. The Chihuahuan Spring will come!'
