The Querétaro gubernatorial race for 2027 remains tightly contested in trader pricing because the dominant PAN holds a clear statewide edge in recent surveys yet faces an unresolved internal contest among Luis Bernardo Nava Guerrero, Felipe Fernando Macías Olvera, and Agustín Dorantes Lámbarri. Nava’s mid-September resignation from the state cabinet to pursue the nomination has sharpened focus on PAN’s selection process, while Macías has signaled continued emphasis on his mayoral duties. Santiago Nieto Castillo leads Morena’s field but trails PAN candidates by wide margins in head-to-head scenarios. Further separation could emerge from PAN’s internal polling and citizen-signature phase, coalition decisions involving Morena-PT-PVEM, or shifts in voter preference as the June 2027 ballot approaches.
