The mayor of Mexicali, Marina del Pilar Ávila, will be Morena’s candidate for governor of Baja California in the 2021 elections.
Although it was believed that the survey would come out in favor of the Mayor of Tijuana, Arturo González, or that of Ensenada, Armando Ayala, the national president of the party, Mario Delgado, affirmed that Ávila was the best positioned in the exercise, whose methodology was not done public.
“We are very happy that she is a woman. A young, intelligent woman, committed to the Fourth Transformation, ”Delgado said outside the party headquarters.
“As of today, she is the coordinator for the defense of the Fourth Transformation in the state of Baja California and we are going to commission her to immediately start forming the defense committees to organize us towards what is to come,” he said.
In his speech, Ávila said that he will seek to consolidate the projects of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Governor Jaime Bonilla in Baja California.
“The most important thing about this poll is that Baja Californians were asked who they preferred to represent them for the governorship,” he said.
“Today we are going for this state coordination that will help us form these important committees to repeat next year what has already been done in Baja California, I am very pleased to have a great team, to be able to consolidate Q4 in Baja California That’s the most important thing, ”he said.
Following the results, the mayors of Ensenada and Tijuana acknowledged Ávila’s triumph in Morena’s internal survey.
