Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has said that Morena's candidates must separate themselves from their public positions in order to participate in the poll. The president put this condition in the dinner he had on Monday night with Moreno governors, party leaders and the four most notable candidates.
The meeting is another demonstration that he has taken the reins of the internal contest of his party, in an effort to prevent the succession struggle from derailing the process and causing divisions in his movement.
