Mexico\u2019s ruling party, Movimiento de Regeneraci\u00f3n Nacional, better known as Morena, in the 2027 elections to step down from public office while campaigning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the coming days, we will complete all the necessary steps to formalize our participation,\u201d Burgue\u00f1o wrote on social media Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are convinced that public service is an opportunity to continue contributing to the transformation and well-being of our people with the certainty that Tijuana will continue to progress with direction, stability, and results,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Burgue\u00f1o, who was elected in 2024, could return to his post if he is not selected as the party\u2019s candidate for Baja California.<\/p>\n

The Tijuana City Council is expected to vote on his request for a leave of absence during a council meeting before Sunday. If approved, Abdiel Guti\u00e9rrez, his alternate and personal secretary, will fill the position, Burgue\u00f1o said.<\/p>\n

During her weekly press conference, Baja California Gov. Marina del Pilar \u00c1vila reiterated her call for those considering running to follow the party\u2019s rules and step down from their posts by Monday.<\/p>\n

Baja California Sens. Julieta Ram\u00edrez and Armando Ayala also announced their decision to take a leave of absence. Their names join the growing list of Morena candidates competing for the six-year job, which includes former Baja California Secretary of Government Alfredo \u00c1lvarez, who previously stepped down from his position.<\/p>\n

Next year, voters in Baja California will elect a new governor, as well as mayors and local deputies.<\/p>\n
