Morena Doubles Population Governance in Durango Despite Fewer Mayoral Wins

Durango Mayoral Election: Morena's Victory Despite Fewer Municipalities Durango, Mexico – Preliminary results from the 2025 Durango mayoral elections show a surprising outcome for the Morena party. While Morena won 16 municipalities, down from 18 in 2022, their control now extends to a significantly larger portion of the population. This represents a substantial increase in influence. The presenter of the show "La Moreniza," which aired the analysis, stated, "In 2022, we governed 15% of the population. Now, despite winning fewer municipalities, we govern 33.05%!" This dramatic increase is attributed to Morena's victories in key municipalities, including the second-largest city, Gómez Palacio. The video also notes that a full vote-by-vote recount was requested in five municipalities, but the local electoral authority did not grant it. The 2025 election results highlight the complexities of measuring political success beyond simple municipality counts. The significant increase in the population under Morena's governance suggests a shift in their political landscape.
