Morena designated Imelda Castro as the state coordinator for the Defense of the Transformation and National Sovereignty in Sinaloa on Wednesday [1].
This appointment serves as a strategic move to solidify the party's infrastructure in a region facing significant instability. By installing a high-profile coordinator, Morena aims to synchronize its efforts with allies from the PT and PVEM parties ahead of critical electoral cycles.
Castro, a senator on leave from the Morena party, will lead the coalition's efforts to strengthen the "4T" movement within the state [1]. Morena's national leadership said the announcement during an event held in the city's World Trade Center [2].
The designation comes as the party prepares for state elections scheduled for February 2027 [3]. Party leadership said the move is a response to the complex times currently affecting Sinaloa [4].
Castro's role involves coordinating the operational work required to maintain the party's influence and expand its reach. The strategy focuses on the Defense of the Transformation, a political framework used by Morena to categorize its governance and social goals.
Along with the appointment in Sinaloa, Morena also named Santiago Nieto to a similar coordinating role in Querétaro to bolster the party's presence in multiple states simultaneously [1].

The appointment of a sitting senator to a state-level coordination role suggests that Morena views Sinaloa as a high-priority battleground for the 2027 elections. By consolidating the PT and PVEM parties under Castro's leadership, the coalition is attempting to prevent internal fragmentation and present a unified front during a period of regional volatility.
