Dante Delgado sets 2027 election targets for Mexico’s Movimiento Ciudadano
Dante Delgado says Movimiento Ciudadano aims to win five governorships in Mexico’s 2027 elections.
The party also wants to win ten state capitals and compete in important metropolitan areas.
It plans to contest all 17 governorships, with nine candidacies for women and eight for men.
Party bodies will choose candidates, and the party says at least half of its nominations will go to people outside party membership.
The party will begin choosing candidates for Nuevo León in December, though it has not decided whether to nominate a woman or a man there.
It will wait for Mexico’s electoral authority to issue rules on gender parity before setting formal nomination criteria.
Delgado ruled out an election alliance with the PRI or PAN and said Movimiento Ciudadano wants to present itself as a separate political option; he also claimed the governing Morena party is concerned about MC’s growth.

What people are saying
Movimiento Ciudadano and Morena know it. That is why they keep repeating Movimiento Ciudadano. We are going to win at least five governorships, ten state capitals and important metropolitan areas.
We do not want to offend the PRI or the PAN, but in no part of the country are they competition on their own.
