“The institutionalization of Morena has a lot to do with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who has known how to maintain this internal cohesion, negotiate and have the wisdom to listen to the political profile that is upset… We will see what happens or when Andrés Manuel López Obrador retires from political life, how the different currents begin to arrange themselves,” says Edgar Scott Aguilar, professor of political communication at Tec de Monterrey.
Morena is a party that will try to maintain internal cohesion and ensure the continuity of the project led by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Even on leave as a Morena member, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has been the party’s guide.
It was he who “suggested” the survey method to renew the Morena leadership in 2020, who designed the method for choosing the presidential candidate and the agreement so that the losing “bottle caps” would be included in the political and government project and who has asked that unity be maintained within the movement.

Flat path to Mayor
Political analysts consulted by Political Expansion They agree that the change in the leadership of Morena will be smooth, since weeks before the call is issued they have agreed on the method and until now, the current Secretary of the Interior, Luisa Maria Alcaldeis the only one who has raised her hand to compete for the leadership of that political force, so she could be elected unanimously.
“Today there is no dissenting voice to this profile, so everything would seem to indicate that there should be no hostilities within Morena,” says Patricio Morelos, political consultant and university professor at the Tecnológico de Monterrey.
I agree with you Morena statutes the party can define the holders of the Presidency and Secretariat in two ways: one survey or a national congressAlthough the survey is the method that the party has used most to define its candidates, for the national leadership, it is emerging as the second most common method.
“Most likely, because it is what has been discussed in the National Executive Committee, we will go to a National Congress in the last week of September, that is, it is the method that suits us best now, which can end with a transparent, democratic process where all the militants come out united around the new leadership,” Delgado said.
With a Secretary at the door, the one of Education he will be the one in charge of leading the process so that the country’s main political force can elect its next president. He will do so with the help of the president of the National Council and current governor of Sonora, Alfonso Durazo.
While Morena’s leadership change is occurring without incident, other political forces are facing divisions, internal problems, and from the presidencies, rejection of changes in leadership.
Alejandro Moreno resigned from his position as national leader of the PRI in order to run for the presidency, following the modification of its statutes that opened the possibility for him to remain at the head of the party for up to eight more years.
Within the PAN, several members are calling for Marko Cortés to resign and for the alliance with the PRI to end, which did not yield good results in the last election.
