**By TJGringo Staff**
The selection process for the new state president of the National Action Party (PAN) in Baja California is anticipated to culminate on November 10th. This announcement was made by Christopher Domínguez, the local leader of PAN in Tijuana.
Domínguez specified that the selection of the new state president will coincide with the election of the national president of the party. As per Domínguez, the state presidency decision is expected to be finalized by the state council, with all party members participating in the election.
“At present, we are awaiting the official call for the elections. The expectation is that the selection process for the state’s new leader will align with the national elections scheduled for Sunday, November 10th,” Domínguez elaborated.
He also mentioned that once the call is approved by the National Executive Committee, a signature collection period will commence. Candidates are required to obtain approximately 900 signatures from across the state, representing 10% of the total membership.
Several potential candidates have already shown an interest in the role. Domínguez listed Lizbeth Mata, Sandra Magaña, Briseño, and Ruth Hernández as the current contenders. However, he did not rule out the possibility of more candidates emerging in the coming days.
“I am aware of Lizbeth Mata, Sandra Magaña, Briseño, and Ruth Hernández’s interests directly, but I do know there are more women considering participation. Undoubtedly, we will see more names in the running soon,” Domínguez concluded.
