President Claudia Sheinbaum distanced herself from Andrés Manuel López Obrador by forcing Ruben Rocha Moya to resign.

The administration announced that President Claudia Sheinbaum distanced herself from Andrés Manuel López Obrador by forcing Ruben Rocha Moya to resign from his position as governor of Sinaloa. The decision followed a period of 112 days of leave, during which Ruben Rocha Moya requested an extension for an indefinite period. While the administration announced that President Claudia Sheinbaum was unaware of the planned return, the move highlights a political friction between the current presidency and the former president's influence. Analysts suggest the move represents a collision between two political paths: one led by Claudia Sheinbaum and the other by Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The resignation of Ruben Rocha Moya serves as a illustration of the administration's effort to establish independent authority while maintaining the common goal of ensuring the permanence of the Morena party in power. The move underscores a shift toward a more independent leadership style for the administration.
