Quintana Roo Business Leaders Seek Policy Proposals, Not Candidate Profiles, Ahead of 2027 Election

Cancun, Quintana Roo — Business leaders in Quintana Roo say they are closely watching the internal process of the ruling Morena party as it prepares for the 2027 gubernatorial election, but they insist their focus is on policy proposals, not individual candidates.

Javier Carlos Olvera Silveira, president of the Caribbean Business Coordinating Council (CCE), said the selection of Morena’s candidate is significant for both the state and the country. He emphasized that the business sector is observing the process with interest while maintaining an institutional and respectful stance.

Jovita Portillo Navarro, president of Coparmex Quintana Roo, said her organization will wait for the official electoral timeline to review proposals from all political parties, not just Morena. She stressed that the business community prioritizes the analysis of government plans and projects over personal profiles, as proposals will determine the viability of each candidate.

Marcos Gutierrez, president of Empresarios por Quintana Roo, noted that public officials requesting leaves of absence to participate in internal processes is a legal right. However, he acknowledged that such moves could cause delays in issues the private sector has been working on with those officials.

The business leaders agreed that their primary responsibility is to promote economic development and strengthen conditions for investment. They said they will continue to monitor the political agenda, as public decisions directly affect the economic environment and growth of Quintana Roo.
