Prosecutor Carlos Torres Piña wins Morena primary for Michoacán governor

Carlos Torres Piña, the prosecutor who investigated the murder of former governor Silvano Aureoles' predecessor, defeated Senator Raúl Morón in Morena's internal contest for the Michoacán gubernatorial nomination. This marks a shift in Morena's candidate selection, favoring a law-and-order figure over a seasoned politician. The outcome could influence state-level security policy and party dynamics ahead of the 2027 election.
