Mexico's Morena party elects Luisa Maria Alcalde as its new leader, seeking unity and independent power.

The Morena party in Mexico has elected Luisa Maria Alcalde, 37, as its new leader, aiming to unify its factions after the tenure of outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Alcalde, an ally of López Obrador, will work alongside his son, Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, now a key party official. Morena governs 23 of 32 states and holds majorities in Congress, facing the challenge of maintaining power independently as López Obrador's influence declines.
