The recent murder of José Alfredo Cabrera Barrientos, a mayoral candidate in Guerrero state, highlights the dangerous environment in which these campaigns are being conducted.

Despite the challenges, candidates remain resolute in their commitment to bringing order and justice to their cities, hoping to navigate through the turbulent political landscape and emerge victorious in the end.
