Mexico's Green Ecologist Party (PVEM) has identified aspirants for the 17 governorships up for election in 2027 and asked Morena to include them in surveys to maintain their alliance. Senate parliamentary coordinator Manuel Velasco backed Senator Jasmine Bugarín as the frontrunner in Nayarit. The party has not ruled out running independently in some states if unsupported.
The PVEM announced its aspirants for the 2027 state elections, targeting all 17 governorships. Senate coordinator Manuel Velasco stated they want Morena to honor survey results for their candidates, citing past issues in Veracruz where PVEM winners were sidelined from leading the alliance despite poll victories in some municipalities. Velasco endorsed Senator Jasmine Bugarín as top in Nayarit: «She is the best-positioned candidate in Nayarit polls, and we have said results must be respected,» he said in an interview. Other aspirants are Senator Waldo Fernández in Nuevo León, federal deputy Ricardo Astudillo in Querétaro, Senator Karen Castrejón in Guerrero, federal deputy Carlos Puente in Zacatecas, federal deputy Ernesto Núñez in Michoacán, federal deputy Ricardo Madrid in Sinaloa, Senator Virgilio Amezcua in Colima, federal deputy Manuel Cota in Baja California Sur, and local deputy Jorge Ramos in Baja California. In San Luis Potosí, Senator Ruth González Silva, wife of Governor Ricardo Gallardo, is in consideration, despite Morena's nepotism ban. Velasco noted she contributed over half a million votes in 2024 and could run legally. Without Morena's backing, PVEM would go solo: «Yes, we would go alone, as we won alone in San Luis in 2021 and the Senate in 2024.» The party favors alliance but would support Morena in most states in exchange for endorsement.
