Zacatecas gubernatorial race: Morena snubs PT's Bañuelos, picks governor's sister-in-law

In Mexico's ruling Morena party, the gubernatorial candidate selection for Zacatecas has excluded PT senator Geovanna Bañuelos, who polls strongly, in favor of Verónica Díaz, sister-in-law of Governor David Monreal. This signals internal factional control and potential friction with coalition partner PT, affecting local political dynamics ahead of the 2027 election.
