The race for Mexico City's boroughs in 2027 is approaching, and potential candidates are already emerging in Morena, though the final decision will rest with the party's internal surveys. Morena holds 11 boroughs, where continuity may prevail in some, while efforts focus on reclaiming opposition-held areas through prior territorial work.
In Álvaro Obregón, Javier López Casarín is a strong option for reelection, though lawmakers like Rosario Morales or Valentina Batres are mentioned if a female candidate is prioritized. Azcapotzalco anticipates a handover between Nancy Núñez and Gabriela Jiménez, with Ana Luisa Vargas also noted. Benito Juárez, a PAN stronghold, sees competition between Leticia Varela and Hugo Torres.
Coyoacán features a contest between Hannah de Lamadrid, a former candidate, and Carlos Torres, coordinator of Welfare programs. In Cuajimalpa, Metro director Adrián Rubalcava and Susana Cueto, leading in surveys, stand out. To reclaim Cuauhtémoc, lost to the opposition for two terms, Arturo Ávila and Catalina Monreal are in play.
Gustavo A. Madero sees Janecarlo Lozano holding strong due to his experience, despite competition from Guadalupe Morales. Iztacalco may see Lourdes Paz continue, with Pablo Trejo as an alternative. In Iztapalapa, current mayor Aleida Alavez competes with Ángel Sánchez, close to Head of Government Clara Brugada.
Miguel Hidalgo has Víctor Hugo Romo leading surveys, followed by Cecilia Vadillo. Milpa Alta highlights José Octavio Rivera and Senator Guadalupe Chavira. Magdalena Contreras mentions Patricia Ortiz, though current mayor Fernando Mercado seeks reelection.
Tlalpan pits Gabriela Osorio against Pedro Haces. Tláhuac names Berenice Hernández and Rigoberto Salgado, close to the president. Venustiano Carranza features Julio César Moreno, with two prior terms, and Mariana Mateos. Xochimilco lists Circe Camacho and former mayor José Carlos Acosta.
These profiles reflect ongoing efforts within Morena to bolster its position in the capital.
