The senator on leave is Morena's pick for governor of Guerrero in 2027, after a career that includes the PRD and her 2018 support for Ricardo Anaya.

This article by José Shaddai Olvera Torres originally appeared in the September 18, 2026 edition of El Chamuco y los Hijos del Averno, a Mexican political satire and news magazine.

Beatriz Mojica Morga was designated by Morena as state coordinator of the Defense of the Transformation and National Sovereignty in Guerrero, a position that makes her the party’s profile to compete for the governorship in the 2027 elections.

The appointment comes after an internal process in which different party profiles took part, and amid questions about Mojica’s political trajectory and her past party affiliations.

The now-Morena member has a trajectory linked primarily to the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), an organization she later left to join Morena.

“Never. I Don’t Share Authoritarian Visions”

One of the antecedents that recirculated after her designation is an interview given to the program Tragaluz, hosted by Fernando del Collado.

In that conversation, when Mojica was still a member of the PRD, she was asked whether at some point she would join the political project of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Her answer was: “Never. I don’t share authoritarian visions.”

In the same interview, speaking about the possibility of integrating different political forces, Mojica maintained that citizens should decide and asserted that López Obrador had “self-excluded.”

Mojica later joined Morena and held positions within the party. Her trajectory also includes a candidacy for the governorship of Guerrero in 2015 for the PRD and the Labor Party (PT).

In 2018 She Backed Ricardo Anaya

Another antecedent of her political trajectory corresponds to the 2018 presidential elections.

In that process, Mojica was a member of the PRD and publicly backed the presidential candidacy of Ricardo Anaya, then the standard-bearer of the Por México al Frente coalition, made up of the PAN, PRD and Movimiento Ciudadano.

In a campaign ad registered with the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Power, Mojica stated: “Ricardo Anaya is a brilliant and brave man.”

In another campaign spot she noted that she knew Anaya and that he was “an honest man.”

That same year, the PRD’s National Council approved Anaya’s presidential candidacy and the lists for Congress, among them Mojica’s candidacy for the Senate by proportional representation.

Her Political Relationship With Ángel Aguirre

Another element of her trajectory is her relationship with the former governor of Guerrero, Ángel Aguirre Rivero.

Mojica held the Secretariat of Social Development of Guerrero during Aguirre’s administration and previously held other posts in his government. She was also the PRD’s candidate for the state governorship in 2015.

Her political relationship with Aguirre has again been mentioned in the context of her designation by Morena, particularly due to the accusations and judicial proceedings related to the Ayotzinapa case.

In August 2026, Aguirre was detained by the Attorney General’s Office in an investigation related to alleged crimes of obstruction of justice and forced disappearance in the context of the Ayotzinapa case. Those accusations correspond to the investigation against the former governor and do not by themselves imply responsibility on Mojica’s part.

From PRD Candidate to Morena Coordinator

Mojica’s party journey reflects a change from her public position of previous years.

After her time in the PRD, she joined Morena and later reached the Senate. Now, her designation as state coordinator places her within the process of defining Morena’s candidacy for Guerrero in 2027.

The appointment also generated questions and differences within the political space that accompanies Morena in Guerrero. The decision has been described as part of the internal dispute over the definition of the state candidacy.

For now, the designation as coordinator constitutes Morena’s internal step prior to the definition of the formal candidacy for the 2027 elections.
