Overview
- Andrés Manuel López Beltrán resigned as Morena's national secretary of organization on May 25 to seek a federal deputy seat for Tabasco's Sixth District in the 2027 cycle.
- He published a widely shared photo with his father, former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, using the caption 'Soy hijo de quienes aman y lucharon por el pueblo' to signal public backing and activate his political brand.
- Several party militants and analysts say his early public declarations, including the phrase 'ya me toca,' upset Morena members because deputy registration dates have not been opened and party timing rules govern candidate announcements.
- Local reporting has documented a house and a cacao finca in Teapa tied to López Beltrán and his Rocío Chocolate business, details he would have to declare if elected and that serve as a local base for his campaign.
- Journalists and commentators have raised unproven questions about whether he seeks legislative immunity ('fuero') or benefited from past influence over contracts, but no formal legal complaints or public investigations have been filed.
