Somos México has named Julián Levarón as its principal candidate for the governorship of Chihuahua in the 2027 election [1].
This move represents a strategic shift in the region's political landscape by attempting to decouple candidate viability from traditional party structures. By promoting a candidate without mandatory party affiliation, the organization seeks to attract voters who are disillusioned with established political machines.
Guadalupe Acosta Naranjo, a spokesperson for Somos México, said the decision aims to promote independent candidates. Naranjo said the goal is to broaden the electoral appeal within state elections [1]. This approach allows the organization to position Levarón as a figure capable of bridging the gap between partisan interests and the general electorate.
Levarón will seek the governorship in 2027 [1]. The strategy used by Somos México focuses on a non-traditional path to power — one that prioritizes individual candidacy over institutional party membership.
While the organization provides the backing and platform for the campaign, the lack of a mandatory party tie is intended to signal a break from the status quo in Chihuahua. The organization believes that this flexibility will make the candidacy more accessible to a wider range of citizens [1].
“Julián Levarón will run without a mandatory party affiliation.”
The nomination of Julián Levarón signals an attempt by Somos México to challenge the dominance of traditional party systems in Chihuahua. By advocating for a candidate without mandatory party affiliation, the group is testing whether an 'independent-style' campaign can successfully mobilize voters outside of established political frameworks ahead of the 2027 elections.
