Ricardo Gallardo, the governor of San Luis Potosí, has addressed remarks made by Senator Manuel Velasco, who publicly suggested that Gallardo’s wife, Ruth González, may be a contender for the governorship in the 2027 elections. Gallardo clarified that Velasco may have been a bit premature in his statement, but the underlying message was one of confidence, indicating that the Partido Verde Ecologista de México (PVEM) is assured of victory in the upcoming vote. He reiterated the party’s intent to maintain a strong presence in the state's political landscape.

In his statements, Gallardo reiterated that the PVEM is considering running in an alliance with Morena and the Partido del Trabajo (PT), which suggests a strategic approach to maximize electoral gains. He pointed to recent polls indicating that the party has a commanding lead of over 20 points, solidifying their position within the state ahead of the elections. This indicates a strong sense of optimism within the party, especially regarding their collaborative efforts.

Meanwhile, Ruth González, while being mentioned in the context of future candidacies, has opted to focus on her current responsibilities within the Senate. Her stance reinforces a commitment to her existing role rather than jumping into the political fray prematurely, reflecting a strategic patience as the election cycle approaches. Additionally, President Claudia Sheinbaum's public disagreement with the candidacy remarks introduces a layer of complexity to the situation, hinting at potential intra-party dynamics that may unfold in the lead-up to the elections.
