Overview
- At a Morelia assembly, over 3,000 female Morena leaders endorsed Gladyz Butanda and publicly called for a woman to lead Michoacán in 2027.
- Butanda said political and social conditions favor a female governorship, citing Morena’s 30-point lead over the opposition and support from President Claudia Sheinbaum.
- Speakers referenced an Enkoll study from early 2025 indicating about 65% of Michoacanos would accept a woman governor.
- Butanda’s credentials highlighted her role as Michoacán’s secretary of Urban Development and Mobility and as promoter of the teleférico projects in Morelia and Uruapan.
- In parallel events, roughly one thousand women gathered to support Gaby Molina’s prospects, emphasizing her 25-year public-service record and her founding of PARES and MODI, in sessions convened by Humanas sin Violencia and PAR:ES.
