Morena Seeks to Void Coahuila Vote After Losing All 16 Districts

Summary
Morena moved to annul Coahuila’s June 7 local election after the opposition PRI swept all 16 districts in a landslide.
The challenge follows one of the ruling party’s clearest recent setbacks and raises questions about how President Claudia Sheinbaum’s still-dominant party will handle losses ahead of next year’s midterms.
Coahuila was Morena’s second local defeat after losing in Durango last year; the two northern states are the PRI’s only remaining governorships.
