Overview
- Morena, which published the formal call Sunday, set an extraordinary National Congress for May 3 at Mexico City's World Trade Center.
- Delegates will choose a new party president to replace Luisa María Alcalde and a new finance chief, with terms running through October 2027.
- Reports inside the party name Welfare Secretary Ariadna Montiel as the frontrunner, though she avoided confirming interest when pressed by reporters.
- Party plans also point to Citlalli Hernández taking charge of the National Commission of Elections and Alliances to steer candidate selection and pacts.
- Political analysts say the rapid reset strengthens President Claudia Sheinbaum’s hold over Morena and could steady relations with allies PVEM and PT before the 2027 contests.
