As of Thursday, June 25, 2026, Morena has officially registered 124 candidates aspiring to run for governor across 17 Mexican states, marking a significant step in the party’s preparation for upcoming elections. Citalli Hernández, president of Morena’s National Elections Commission, shared these figures during the third day of candidate registrations, highlighting a mostly digital process that reflects the party’s push for accessibility and inclusivity.

Out of the total registrations, 91 were completed online, while 33 were done in person by Morena members, alongside additional candidates from allied parties like the PT and the Green Party. Hernández emphasized the calm and unified atmosphere surrounding the process, noting that many aspirants expressed surprise at the smoothness and transparency of the registration phase.

The day began with the registration of Fabiola Alanis as a gubernatorial candidate for Michoacán. Alanis, who currently presides over the state’s Congress Board and previously led the National Commission to Prevent and Eradicate Violence Against Women during President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration, brings a strong background in public service and gender rights advocacy. Before joining Morena, she was a key figure in the PRD in Michoacán, illustrating the evolving political landscape within Mexico’s left-wing movements.

Registrations are ongoing in states including Michoacán, Nayarit, and Nuevo León, with Morena maintaining a message of unity and confidence in the electoral process. Hernández thanked all candidates for their trust and participation, reinforcing the party’s commitment to democratic engagement.

In a related announcement, Morena’s national leader Ariadna Montiel expressed solidarity with Venezuela following the earthquake that struck the country yesterday. Montiel confirmed that Morena will organize aid efforts, with plans to publicly share details tomorrow, underscoring the party’s dedication to international social justice and humanitarian support.

This registration phase and Morena’s proactive stance on social issues reflect a broader vision of inclusive governance and active state involvement, themes that resonate strongly with Mexico’s younger and migrant populations seeking progressive change.
